Command Analysis

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg got off to a great start in the playoffs and in the first two games against St. Louis, scoring two solid wins with scores of 5:3 and 2:1, respectively. It seemed that the team would continue to perform in the same spirit on the road, but suddenly huge defensive problems arose, which led to two defeats and negated all the advantage. Returning to the home arena, the Jets nevertheless rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, but they failed to consolidate their success and achieve the final victory, and the Blues once again equalized the series.
The Fighters were one step away from relegation, and any mistake could lead to one of the strongest clubs in the Western Conference ending its playoff run. By the end of the third period, Winnipeg was conceding two goals, and everything was heading for an embarrassing defeat, but the club performed a real miracle. Two minutes before the final whistle, they managed to close the gap, and then equalize the score three seconds before the final whistle. In overtime, no one wanted to concede, playing as carefully as possible, and only in the 37th minute of extra time were the Jets able to score the most important goal, which allowed them to advance to the quarterfinals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Morrissey, Schaifley and Stanley remain in question.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Winnipeg concedes 3.8 goals per match.
- On average, the Jets receive 24 penalty minutes per match.

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas came to the playoffs in terrible shape. Right before the curtain of the regular season, the team began a serious decline, and in the first match of the Stanley Cup, the Stars suffered a crushing defeat from Colorado with a score of 1:5. It seemed that the team would continue to show a mediocre game, but he turned on in time and was able not only to win back, but also took the lead in the series himself, snatching two victories in overtime. However, the club was unable to continue performing in the same spirit, which led to another defeat.
The instability of the stars almost led to a failure in the draw, but in the final match Dallas showed a great game in the majority, which allowed them to make a comeback and eventually win a landslide victory with a score of 4:2. Striker Rantanen played superbly, scoring a hat-trick and also giving an assist.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lundqvist remains in the infirmary. Haiskanen and Robertson are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas is averaging three goals per game.
- The Stars completed 30% of the majority's attempts

1.52Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, the bookmakers do not single out a clear favorite and give the teams approximately equal odds to win. Indeed, both clubs had a difficult first series, and it is difficult to say how they will begin their performance in the quarterfinals. However, it should be borne in mind that Winnipeg will be playing at home, where, with the support of the fans, it shows itself at its best, where it has not lost a single match in the playoffs so far. We believe that the Jets will continue their winning streak, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our betting tip is for Winnipeg to win the match in 2.03
Bet on the total
The upcoming match may well be effective. Both teams cannot boast of a particularly reliable defensive game, which is especially true for Dallas, which experienced serious problems in the series with Colorado. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.87
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Due to the advantage of home walls, Winnipeg has every chance of creating serious problems for Dallas already at the start of the meeting. We believe that the Jets will earn an advantage at the end of the first period.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.92
