Jets’ Goaltending Saving The Team
The Jets are heading to Minnesota after their loss on Sunday versus the Mammoth with a final score of 3-2. This loss would end a three-game home stand with a record of 1-2-0. Winnipeg now heads on the road for a brief road trip before heading back home on Thursday to face the Blackhawks.
Winnipeg, this seaso,n much like their previous seasons, has relied on their goaltending to keep goals out of their net opposed to their defense. On the season, the Jets are the fifth-worst team in shots allowed, allowing an average of 30.89 shots per game. To combat this, their goaltending has been standing on its head, leading the league in save percentage at .921. While their goaltending holds down their defense, their offense has thrived in grabbing the goals needed to win, with their offense sitting ninth in scoring this season. Leading their offense is center Mark Scheifele, who leads the team in scoring with eight goals in his nine games played.
We will likely see Connor Hellebuyck get the start in net for the Jets on Tuesday.

Wild Struggling On Defense
The Wild grabbed another loss on Sunday versus the Sharks with a final score of 6-5. This is the third loss in a row for the Wild and their sixth loss in their last seven games. The Wild are continuing on a six-game home stand in which they have a record of 0-1-1.
Minnesota has a huge issue this season on defense as they sit second to last in goals allowed. The reason for this is due to a lack of defense as well as poor goaltending. The Wild rank sixth to last in shots allowed, allowing an average of 30.8 shots per game, and sit 27th in save percentage at .873. This combination of poor defending has made it difficult for their offense to find the goals needed to keep them in a winning game, as their defense allows an average of 3.9 goals per game.

Jets versus Wild Picks and Prediction
Money Line Pick For Jets versus Wild
- Jets Money Line (-110) (4 units)
The Jets have a record of 4-0-0 in their last four games versus the Wild on the road. The Wild have been suffering on defense this season and will be facing one of the top offenses in the league. On top of this, the Wild will also struggle in facing Connor Hellebuyck, who has not allowed many goals this season and Minnesota does not have the shot production needed to overcome the high quality in the Jets’ net. I am going to side with the Jets to continue their impressive streak against the Wild.
Over/Under Pick For Jets versus Wild
- Over 5.5 (-122) (4 units)
The Wild have an over/under record of 6-3 in their last nine games. The Wild are going to struggle in generating goals in this game and will be fortunate if they grab at most two. I believe the Jets alone will be able to get us over the total as they are up against a Wild team that has allowed almost four goals per game on average this season.
