Ducks vs. Jets Key Stats
Anaheim possesses one of the most inconsistent offenses, which has severely affected their gameplay. Apart from Troy Terry, not a single player has scored goals in double digits. The team is very much dependent on Terry for scoring and will therefore play a crucial role in this game.
Their poor defense has pushed them down in the standings, as they have conceded over four goals per game this season. If they want to win games going forward, they need big positive changes in their defensive setup.
Winnipeg's offense has been decent and the contributions from Pierre-Luc Dubois and Mark Scheifele have made the difference. Both players have over 10 goals each and will play a crucial role in the upcoming game.
Their defense has helped them win games and they look very much settled coming into the game. Winnipeg will look to maintain the momentum and average of fewer than three goals conceded by addressing minor details in future games.
Ducks vs. Jets Betting Prediction
The game is quite one-sided, given the poor offensive and defensive attributes of Anaheim. They have been poor on the road, further putting them under pressure in this game.
On the other hand, Winnipeg have been better in every department of the game and the home benefit also puts them on top. They are likely to exploit Anaheim's defense and get a favorable result.
Prediction: Take, Winnipeg, -1.5(+100)
