| NHL | (63) Winnipeg Jets at (64) St. Louis Blues: Total | 8:07pm EDT - Apr 9/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 5.5 (-106)
With effective playoff elimination risk on both sides tonight, this battle in St Louis has all the earmarks of a taut 2-1 or 3-2 scoreline.
Connor Hellebuyck has certainly been up to the task lately in goal for the Jets as he makes an eighth straight start for Winnipeg this evening. He hasn’t allowed more than three goals in any of his last seven starts and has been solid thus far in April, with a 2.03 GAA and .902 saves in three starts as the Jets have made a last-ditch move toward the edge of the West playoff field.
Meanwhile the Blues have been getting very solid work in goal in their 12-3-3 run since the start of March, much of that Joel Hofer. Tonight, however, Jim Montgomery likely goes with his other solid option, Jordan Binnington, who posted a 1.62 GAA and .921 saves in five March starts before a heroic effort last Wednesday in LA, taking a 1-1 score into OT before the Kings prevailed. We go "under" 5.5 goals and found a -106 as the best price on offer in the overnights, and we'd stick on this pick as long as the price doesn't move past -115. Pay Jets-Blues “Under”
Consultant Bio
Bruce Marshall's name has become synonymous with The Gold Sheet. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan. He learned the business by working alongside Mort and the other TGS handicappers and continues at TGS, where he has worn many hats over the years. Not only is Bruce the Executive Editor at TGS, he's also the Editor of Goldsheet.com and The Gold Sheet EXTRA!!! (a publication he helped launch in 1982), as well as serving as Editor-in-Chief of European Soccer Weekly.
Bruce's unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis, as well as informed commentary on the national and international sports scene, has made him an in-demand guest for many years on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country. Bruce's vast array of editorial work is featured not only in the TGS publications, but various other print and online publications, and his analysis is often featured in the Las Vegas Review- Journal. Bruce, who is also in the midst of several book and media projects, combines all of his work while traveling between Virginia and his official hometown of Henderson, NV.
