Ducks vs Jets Key Stats
Anaheim has only managed to score less than three goals per game, which exactly summarizes their season. Most of the work has been done by Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras for the team on offense and they have felt alone upfront with no proper support from other players.
Their defense is one of the poorest in the league with 69 goals conceded in 16 games, adding more misery to their season. They have failed as a team while defending and have to work a lot to make it better going forward this season.
The Jets have scored 43 goals in 14 games, with Mark Scheifele leading the charge with 10 goals and two assists. They have played well as a team but need to increase their conversion rate and buildup going forward this season.
The defense of the team has done its job with goaltenders having a combined save percentage of 0.928 and have allowed only 2.36 goals out of 30 shots faced per game. The Jets look settled as a team and there is not much to worry about for them going forward this season.
Ducks vs Jets Betting Prediction
Anaheim have done better and have reduced their margin in losses and will be motivated by a win in their last game. The over has been 5-0 in their last five games following a win and is likely to have a say in this game too.
The Jets have played well and are 4-1 in their last five overall. They have not scored enough in their last couple of games and will be cautious because of that.
Anaheim are likely to do better by keeping it tight at the back
Prediction: Take Anaheim over 6(-120)
