Blues vs. Jets Odds, Picks, Predictions: Look to Dubois for Anytime Goal

Two teams on losingstreaks meet Monday in the only game on the NHL schedule when the St. LouisBlues face the Winnipeg Jets. Read on for our best Blues vs. Jets pick based on topodds.

Although the WinnipegJets sit in second place in the Central Division, with 63 points in 51 games,they have also lost three straight games. The Jets lost 4-0 at home againstPhiladelphia on Saturday, the second time this season that they have been shutout.

The Blues are in amuch more precarious position. Four straight losses leaves them with 49 pointsin 50 games and it sure looks like they will be sellers ahead of the NHL TradeDeadline.

There is still plentyof incentive for the Jets to get back on track and challenge the Dallas Starsfor first place in the Central Division. On the other side, the Blues are noweight points out of a playoff spot and are longshots (+1300 at DraftKings Sportsbook) toeven make the playoffs.

Here is our best Bluesvs. Jets NHL pick (odds via CaesarsSportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Blues vs. Jets pick

Pierre-Luc Dubois Anytime Goal vs. Blues (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This has been a breakoutseason for Dubois, the 24-year-old Jets center. He has 22 goals and 52 pointsin 51 games and has produced at least one goal in 12 of 25 home games.

Dubois has seen hisice time steadily increase throughout the season, to nearly 19 minutes per gamein January, and he gets first unit power play time in addition to skating on aline with dangerous playmaking winger Kyle Connor and skilled rookie Cole Perfetti.

Dubois goes against aBlues squad that ranks 26th in shots against per 60 minutes on theroad and 28th in goals against per 60 minutes on the road.

St. Louis’expected starter in net, Jordan Binnington, has a .892 save percentage away from the Enterprise Center, which ranks 58th among 68 goaltenders that have played least500 minutes on the road.

Binnington hasallowed at least four goals against in eight of his past 14 starts, and if theJets start filling the net, Dubois is likely to be one of the goal scorers.

Blues vs. Jets Best Odds

Caesars (+160) 

While most of thetop-rated sportsbooks have settled with a Dubois anytime goal at +145, thereis better value to be found at FanDuel (+154) and, as usual, at Caesars (+160).

My price for a Duboisanytime goal is closer to +125, even accounting for some regression in his shootingpercentage on home ice, so there is value to be had in grabbing him at +160.

The price at Caesars issubstantially better than the rest, so that is my first choice among the top-rated sportsbooks tomake this wager.
