LiontipsWinnipeg - New Jersey: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Winnipeg has long established an incredibly comfortable scoring record, so it is definitely not in danger of losing its leading position in the West in the near future. The team, however, is clearly not in its best shape right now and continues to alternate successful fights with defeats, but it is still ahead of its closest pursuer by 12 points.
We emphasize that before that, on the road, the air army lost to Vancouver (2:6), then barely defeated Edmonton (4:3 OT), and after an unsuccessful match against Buffalo (3:5), they pulled themselves together on their ice and beat the leader of the Eastern Conference in Washington with a score in a tense struggle. 3-2 in overtime, with only two missed goals. In that match, of course, there were a number of saves performed by Connor Hellebuyck, who, by the way, remains the best goalkeeper in the league.
Let's remind that Scott Arniel's squad performs quite powerfully on the home arena and in 22 cases achieved success within 60 minutes. In addition, she makes great use of her moments and often opens up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pionk and Vilardi will not play in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg gets 7.56 minutes of penalty time per match
- Winnipeg wins 49.2% of face-offs according to statistics
Current form
New Jersey has often pleased fans with great results and long winning streaks in the first half of the season, but things are clearly not going well for it right now. The team is on the sixth line of the Eastern Conference, but in the near future it may find itself in the seventh position, and if it continues to show similar results, it will be completely outside the playoff zone.
The Devils have been losing a lot lately and have been notable for single wins. So, on their ice, they lost to Calgary (3:5), Ottawa (2:3) and lost to Vancouver (3:4B), only after that they went on the road and defeated Chicago with a score of 5:3. We emphasize that playing defense is a big problem for the Devils, as they have become very undisciplined in their zone, which is why they now concede about three to four goals per match on average.
As a rule, the third period of the game is the worst for Sheldon Keogh's team, which accounts for most of the goals conceded. Nevertheless, New Jersey is showing its best side in the minority and currently has 82.3% majority neutralization.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hamilton, Siegenthaler, Hughes and Glass will not be able to participate in the fight.
Interesting betting trends
- New Jersey wins 49.7% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the team makes 23 power plays per game.
Trends

In the last five matches, the hosts scored goals in the second leg.
1.37Tip and bets
In our opinion, Winnipeg should achieve success in this confrontation without any problems. Of course, the Jets are far from their optimal condition right now, but New Jersey has previously shown rather mediocre results and has often been on a series of failures. Previous meetings between the clubs also often ended in favor of the owners of the site. We think that this time, with the support of their fans, they will earn two points.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
Winnipeg usually manages with a small number of missed goals in matches with the Devils and does not allow the opponent to score three times. The Devils are not as good on the road as they are on their own ice, especially when they play against the leaders. It is likely that even now the guests will not be able to score three times.
We're betting on New Jersey's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
The previous meeting with Winnipeg took place with only four goals scored, although he played against the league's highest-scoring team in Washington. If Connor Hellebuyck does a good job of his duties and fends off most of the threats from his opponent, then we won't see a lot of abandoned goals in the upcoming match either.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.75
