Jets vs Hurricanes Prediction

The Winnipeg Jets and Carolina Hurricanes meet Tuesday in the NHL action at the PNC Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Winnipeg Jets are averaging 3.1 goals per game and are scoring on 21.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Mark Scheifele leads Winnipeg with 38 goals, Josh Morrissey has 52 assists and Kyle Connor has 233 shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 82.5 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up 132 goals on 1,621 shots faced, and David Rittich has allowed 43 goals on 458 shots.

The Carolina Hurricanes are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 21.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Sebastian Aho leads Carolina with 27 goals, Brent Burns has 39 assists and Andrei Svechnikov has 205 shots on goal. Defensively, the Carolina Hurricanes are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 83.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Frederik Andersen has allowed 55 goal on 575 shots faced, and Antti Raanta has allowed 51 goals on 551 shots.

The Jets are 1-10 in their last 11 games playing on 1 days rest and 3-7 in their last 10 overall. The Hurricanes are 48-18 in their last 66 home games and 35-17 in their last 52 overall. The under is 48-20-5 in Jets last 73 overall. The under is 8-2-1 in Hurricanes last 11 overall. The Jets are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

The Winnipeg Jets enter this contest in terrible shape, and this isn't a spot where things are likely going to turn around. Not only are the Carolina Hurricanes are one of the most consistent teams in the league, but they've been a buzz saw at home dating back to last season. Teams don't get on track in Carolina. There's really no other option for me here. I have to side with the Canes, and I'll lay the PL to shave down the price.
