Edmonton has gained ground recently, winning two of its last three games and improving its overall record to 19-14-6. The Oilers have shown they can put up big offensive numbers, highlighted by a 6-2 victory over Winnipeg earlier in December, where Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid each produced multi-point efforts. Winnipeg holds a 15-17-4 record and has lost its last five outings, including a 4-3 defeat to Minnesota, where the Jets led for portions but couldn’t close it out. The Jets are tied for the fewest points in the Central Division this season and will try to spark a turnaround here.
Goaltenders will be under pressure in what could be an offensively open game. Edmonton’s Connor Ingram has posted solid numbers recently with a 2.35 goals against average and a respectable save percentage. The Jets are expected to send Connor Hellebuyck to the net, who has a 2.56 GAA despite some injury problems early in the year. The goaltending matchup should go Winnipeg's way, but Hellebuyck has to face a better offense, which could neutralize that.
Offensively, Edmonton is led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. McDavid has been piling up points consistently and Draisaitl’s scoring touch remains a threat every time he’s on the ice. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman also contribute substantial scoring for Edmonton. For Winnipeg, Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele lead the Jets offensively and have continued to generate chances even during the team's recent struggles. Gabriel Vilardi can also light up the scoreboard and should be considered by prop bettors as well.
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Connor McDavid | Over 1.5 Points |
Leon Draisaitl | Over 1.5 Points |
Kyle Connor | Over 0.5 Points |
Score Projection: Jets 2 – Oilers 4
Win Probability: Edmonton Oilers 57% – Winnipeg Jets 43%
I will take the Oilers as a slight favorite on the road over the Jets on Monday night. Winnipeg is struggling mightily of late, giving up four goals in back-to-back games. The Jets haven't been able to put together a solid performance both offensively and defensively in the same game and that trend should continue against an elite Oilers attack.
