Utah - Winnipeg: NHL match betting tip
On April 6, Utah and Winnipeg will play each other in Salt Lake for the fourth time in the season and in history. Canadians are leading in the West and want to win the Presidential Cup. The newcomers are still only trying to get into the playoffs, but they are gradually losing any chance of doing so. So far, only the hosts have won in this pair, and at the beginning of the calendar year, Andre Turigny's wards have already beaten the Jets at the Delta Center. Will it succeed again? Look for the answer in the betting tip for the match
Command Analysis
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah is gradually losing its theoretical chances of making the playoffs in its first NHL season, but it's hard to call it a complete failure. The team was created from Arizona, so few people believed that the hosts would really fight to get into the final part of the tournament. Andre Turigny's men are in 11th position in the West and have scored only 80 points in 76 matches. They've been playing pretty poorly lately and have lost four out of six matches. In early April, the debutants beat Calgary (3:1), but a day later they lost to Los Angeles in Salt Lake (2:4).
The newcomers lack stability in attack and during the regular season they differ only by 2.82 goals per match on average. Clayton Keller's squad scored 12 goals in the last six games, and the captain himself remains the club's top scorer. The American has made 80 effective actions (25 +55) and constantly gives accurate passes to his partners.
Disqualifications and injuries
Connor Ingram, Liam O'Brien and Juuso Valmyaki will not play against the Jets.
Interesting betting trends
- Utah throws 28 times per game on average
- The hosts receive an average of 9.26 minutes of penalty time.
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg has been leading the conference table for a long time and the Canadians are not ready to share the first place with competitors. The Jets are at the top of the overall league table with 108 points after 76 starts and can become the winners of the President's Cup at the end of the regular season. The guests should not relax, because Dallas is breathing down their backs, which scored only four points less, but has one game left. At the beginning of the new month, Scott Arniel's team lost in California to Los Angeles (1-4), and a day later they easily dealt with Vegas (4-0).
The Jets remain the most reliable team in the West, conceding only 2.33 goals per game. The Fighters allowed their opponents to score only seven times in the last five matches, while they conceded four goals in California. Connor Hellebuyck remains one of the best goalies in the NHL. The American made 92.44% of saves and made seven shutouts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rasmus Kupari, Gabriel Vilardi, Nicholas Ehlers and Nick Pionk will not be able to play in Salt Lake.
Interesting betting trends
- The Jets shoot 27 times per game on average.
- The Jets win 49.2% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four of the five Winnipeg games, the first period was productive.
1.85Bet 2nd period: "Utah" will score
The rookies scored in the third period in the last four games.
1.55Tip and bets
Utah has actually lost its chances of reaching the playoffs, but it will cling to even the theoretical chances of getting into the final bracket of the tournament. Winnipeg really needs a win right now, because the Canadians may lose their leadership in the conference and in the Central Division table, and the Jets certainly don't want that. The debutants were able to beat the team from the province of Manitoba in January, but now the fighters will take to the ice with a different attitude. We think that the Jets will achieve what they want and we offer a bet on winning the second one with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Winnipeg will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Playing offensively is not Utah's strong point, which is notable for only 2.82 goals per game. Winnipeg, on the other hand, plays better in its own zone and rarely concedes more than two goals per match. The guests have the best goalkeeper in the league, who should not be allowed to rest at such an important moment for the Canadians.
Prediction - Utah's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
It is unlikely that the meeting in Salt Lake will be too productive, given its importance. For Utah, winning the game against Winnipeg may be the last chance to qualify for the playoffs, and the visitors need to win to stay on top in three tables. We are not waiting for open hockey and will try to bet on a total of fewer goals.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.85
