Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Even before the break, Winnipeg gained amazing form and did not lose for eight consecutive matches. What is especially noteworthy is that almost all of them ended in regular time, and serious problems arose only in duels with very serious opponents, in the person of Colorado and Washington, twice snatching Victoria in overtime with the score 3:2 and 5:4, respectively. After defeating the Capitals, the Jets returned to their home arena, where they faced another opponent of their level, Carolina. Due to the excellent defensive play and the efforts of goalkeeper Comrie, they managed to gain the upper hand (3-0). In addition to the goalkeeper, it is also worth praising the forward Niederreiter, who scored the puck and gave an assist.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the "fighters" fought with the "Islanders" and this time they did not play so reliably, which almost led to failure. Nevertheless, in the second period, the ice masters were able to consolidate their advantage and held it until the end of the meeting, winning with a score of 4:3. This time, the first-line striker Vilardi scored a double. What is especially noteworthy is that even after the break, the club continued to delight the fans with success. The Jets faced St. Louis, and this time goalkeeper Comrie didn't perform at his best. Everything went to defeat in the main time, but Vilardi scored again, scoring the puck in the last minute of the match, and as a result, the team won the shootout (4:3). Thanks to such successful performances, the team has seriously strengthened on the first line in the Western Conference table, with 83 points.

San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose is having one of the weakest seasons in its history, finishing last in the Western Conference table. In 58 matches, the team was able to earn only 37 points, winning 11 in regular time, which can be considered a complete failure. In defense of the club, we can say that it is undergoing restructuring, but it has already dragged on very long, and it is difficult to say when the team will come to its senses and start fighting again at least for getting into the playoffs, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. There are practically no stars left in the team's camp who can pull the shark on their shoulders and pull the rest of the players along with them. In particular, it is worth noting a very weak defensive line, a huge number of mistakes in defense leads to constant defeats, and it is not possible to rehabilitate due to the attacking line.
Even before the NHL break, the team was in terrible shape and could not succeed for three consecutive matches. Only Vancouver managed to impose a decent fight, suffering an insulting defeat in overtime (1:2). It was possible to catch on to one point only due to the opponent's weak play in attack. As expected, it turned out to be impossible for Dallas to give a decent rebuff in the next match. Once again, constant defensive failures led to a crushing defeat with a score of 3:8. Goalkeeper Vanechek also showed his worst side, reflecting only 76% of shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kovalenko, Kostin and Couture will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose gets 7.75 minutes of penalty time per match
On average, the Sharks are eliminated at least four times per game.
- San Jose holds an average of 23 power moves.
The Sharks play pretty tough hockey and play a lot of power hockey.

1.50Tip and bets
Winnipeg is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are a lot of reasons. The Jets are two heads above their competition in absolutely all respects, which they prove throughout the regular season. It is also worth noting that the fighters are in excellent shape, which allows them to easily beat almost any opponents in their path. Given the weak form of San Jose, we suggest betting on the victory of the ice masters with a minus handicap.
Our forecast is for Winnipeg to win with a (-2) puck handicap in 1.88
Bet on the total
We can also expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Due to its powerful offensive line, Winnipeg should have no problems breaking through the fragile defense of the Sharks and thus has every chance of defeating the opponent. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Forecast - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.82
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Due to its significant superiority over its opponent, as well as the advantages of the home walls, Winnipeg will consistently create powerful pressure on the shark from the very start of the match. We believe that this will allow the Jets to gain an advantage at the end of the first period.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins in the first period in 2.00
