Command Analysis
Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
Pittsburgh continues its home series, which it started quite successfully. In the first match, the team met with one of the main outsiders in the league, San Jose, and with great difficulty snatched victory in a shootout with a score of 4:3. At the beginning of the second period, the Penguins were already able to take a significant advantage of three goals, but during the meeting they could not hold it, which led to problems. Then the team fought with a much more serious competitor, Tampa, and this time again was able to score two unanswered goals first. However, in the third period, the Penguins made two mistakes in defense, which allowed the Lightning to transfer the game to overtime, where they had to lose (2:3). It is worth noting that Sullivan charges showed a very weak game in attack, only managing to make 19 shots on target.
The club decline has already been very prolonged, due to which it has lost a huge number of points and dropped to 14th place in the Eastern Conference table, having only 18 points. What is noteworthy is that at the beginning of the season, Pittsburgh consistently pleased fans with successful results and was among the best teams in the league for a long time, but has completely lost its position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pittsburgh continues to have serious problems with its roster. Glass, Hayes and Lizotte are all in the infirmary. Letang is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Pittsburgh allows 3.95 goals per game.
The Penguins have serious problems on defense and have been allowing a huge number of goals throughout the season.
- The Penguins are averaging 31 shots per game.
The club attacking line often tries to compensate for the lapses in defense and creates a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone.
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg had been in great shape for a long time, earning points consistently, and their winning streak reached seven games. However, their streak of success was interrupted away to Tampa Bay, where they suffered a 1-4 defeat. Few could have expected such a weak attack from the Western Conference leader, and they managed to make only 24 shots on target. It seemed that the team would be able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans in the match with Florida, but away to the Panthers they had to lose without a goal (0-5). This time, goalie Hellebuyck did not play reliably enough, reflecting only 84% of the shots.
The home walls helped the "fighters" to recover. Having returned to their home arena, the team played a return match with "Florida" and left no chance for their opponent, defeating them with a score of 6:3. In particular, it is worth praising forward Scheifele, who scored a hat trick. Even a small slump and four lost points did not affect Winnipeg position in the Western Conference table. The club continues to remain in first place, and has an advantage over the second position of three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Winnipeg has virtually no problems with its roster. Only defenseman Stanley is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Winnipeg averages 4.2 goals per game
The club continues to be one of the most productive in the league.
- The Jets converted 36% of their power play attempts.
Thanks to their excellent attacking play and very high scoring rates, the “fighters” consistently punish their opponents for breaking the rules.

2.08Tip and bets
It is hard to believe that Pittsburgh is capable of giving a worthy fight in the upcoming match. The team is in terrible shape and has been earning points with great difficulty for a long period of time. Home walls also do not always help the club achieve success. Winnipeg was able to quickly cope with the slump, which was demonstrated in a match with a fairly serious competitor, defeating Florida. It is worth noting that the Jets have been showing excellent play on the road this season, where they almost never lose. So we suggest not taking risks and making a confident bet in favor of the guests.
Our forecast is Winnipeg victory in 2.03
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored, given the nature of the clubs' game. Both teams prefer open, attacking hockey and often realize their attacking potential. So there is an excellent opportunity to choose total over as a second bet.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.67
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Pittsburgh can put up a decent fight thanks to their home walls, but Winnipeg’s superiority is still very serious, which is why the Jets often earn an advantage already at the end of the opening period.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.66
