The Jets and Blues are tied this season with a 1-1-0 record, with the Blues earning a 4-1 victory over the Jets in Winnipeg in December. Since their last meeting, the Jets have gone 21-6-3. They currently hold the No. 1 seed for the Western Conference playoff spot.
The Jets opened as bigger favorites around -145 or higher but the news of Hellebuyck and Morrisey both missing the game brought that down to between -120 and -130 at most books. The Jets are still the far superior team, though, especially with the Blues’ backup in net.
