WIN
Jets vs. Ducks
Over 4.5
ANALYSIS
Anaheim’s defensive structure remains a major liability, ranking 30th in goals against (3.5/game) and coming off a high-scoring 6-5 victory over Edmonton on Wednesday. The matchup is further tilted toward the over as Winnipeg navigates the loss of top-pair defenders Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk, both of whom were placed on IR this week. With Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal currently in a slump and Winnipeg's top-six generating a 7-3 advantage in high-danger chances in their last outing, this total is poorly positioned against the current defensive vulnerabilities of both sides.
Key Data
Ducks 31st in CA/60; Jets Power Play 28.5% success rate.
OUTCOME
Winnipeg Jets 4 - Anaheim Ducks 5
