The Jets have had a lot of problems winning games recently, and were demolished in a 7-4 loss against Montreal on Tuesday. The team will look to bounce back against a poor Arizona team.
The Coyotes continue their disappointing season and are just trying to get through it at this point. Arizona lost five straight before grabbing a 2-1 win over the Islanders.
Winnipeg Jets
Patrik Laine’s forced removal from play due to concussion symptoms has just added insult to injury, for lack of a better term, to a rough campaign for the Jets.
Laine, the star rookie, has 21 goals and 16 assists on the season and is already showing how fantastic of a future he has. Before heading to the injured list, Laine had two goals and five assists in his last five games.

Winnipeg has a solid offense, especially when Laine is on the ice. The Jets are 9th in the NHL in goals scored (122). Laine and center Mark Scheifele have combined for 40, almost a third, of those goals.
The problem for the Jets lies in the defense. Winnipeg ranks 2nd to last in the league in goals against, allowing 133 on the year. That’s an average of 3.02 goals per game.
As solid as goaltender Connor Hellebuyck can be, he can’t do a lot to get that goals per game average down unless his defense steps up.
Luckily, a game against a bad Arizona team shouldn’t be too hard to defend, so Winnipeg will have plenty of opportunities to win.
Arizona Coyotes
The Coyotes are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games and have just 12 wins on the year. Arizona has faced injury after injury and that has depleted an already mediocre team.
Dave Bolland has yet to play a game in an Arizona uniform because of back and ankle injuries. Max Domi has missed a month after having surgery on his broken hand.
Center Martin Hanzal has been out with a lower-body injury and his status is unknown for Thursday.
Hanzal has played decent hockey for Arizona, and the Coyotes could really use him against Winnipeg. In his last five games, he has two goals and two assists.

Unfortunately, there’s really been no consistent offensive threat for Arizona. No player has more than nine goals on the season, which explains why the team ranks 2nd to last in goals scored this season. The Coyotes only have 86 goals and average just 2.15 goals per game.
The Coyotes aren’t making the playoffs this year and, at this point, are just looking to get through the season.
It’ll be a tough road on Thursday against Winnipeg.
NHL Betting Trends:
- The Total has gone UNDER in three of Arizona’s last five games
- Winnipeg is 4-1 in the last five games on the road
Free Winnipeg Jets vs. Arizona Coyotes NHL Hockey Prediction:
Even without Patrik Laine, the Jets are a much better team than the Coyotes. I like Winnipeg to win on the road.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Winnipeg -140
The moneyline is almost always a good choice for a team going up against the bad Arizona Coyotes. I definitely like the Winnipeg ML in this one.
