The Winnipeg Jets are ready for the all-star break but they’ve got one more game to get through Wednesday in Columbus. The sky isn’t necessarily falling for Winnipeg, but losses in 4 of the last 5 heading into a Tuesday night tilt in Carolina hasn’t helped their cause.
On the flip side, Columbus will look to win their 6th game in a row on Wednesday and go into the break with a belly full of momentum. The Metropolitan is going to be chaotic after the break so momentum is a good thing.

Any reason to justify a wager on Winnipeg at +135 here? The Jets did win a 4-3 meeting over the Blue Jackets at home at the end of November but will be playing on 0 days rest Wednesday after a tilt with the ‘Canes on Tuesday.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets want to get into the all-star break to rejuvenate and recharge. That’s evidence by their losses in 4 of the last 5 games and with scoring 2 goals or less in 3 of the last 4.
Make no mistake, things are far from dour for a Winnipeg team that is a mere 3 points back from Arizona with a whole second half of the season to play. A win on Wednesday would definitely be great for the psyche though.
It wouldn’t have matter if the Jets were able to find any offense the last two games because they were Swiss cheese on defense in a 1-7 loss to Tampa Bay and a 2-5 defeat in Chicago. Columbus doesn’t score a ton which does help.
Connor Hellebuyck was the expected starter in net Tuesday vs. the Hurricanes. That leaves Laurent Brossoit to get the nod Wednesday. He has allowed 5 and 6 goals his last two starts. Oh boy.
Columbus Blue Jackets
Columbus does have the momentum advantage as they have rattled off wins in each of their last 5 games. The Blue Jackets have also had 2 nights off since their last game and have played 3 of 4 at home while the Jets are on 0 days rest.
It hasn’t been a whole lot of scoring that has fueled Columbus’ 8-2 run over their last 10. The Jackets are 24th in the league in scoring, averaging less than 3 goals per game.
That offense may produce against a tired Winnipeg defense though, not to mention a goaltender who hasn’t exactly been stonewalling. Wednesday’s betting total would seem to back that, set at 6.
The reason why a 6 O/U seems high is because the Columbus defense is absolutely in the zone. The Blue Jackets have 3 shutouts in their last 5 games and have allowed 3 total in their other two contests over that span.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Jets are 2-5 the last 7 on 0 days rest
- Jets are 1-4 last 5 overall
- Blue Jackets are 5-0 last 5 overall
- Jets are 8-3 last 11 h2h meetings
Free Winnipeg Jets vs. Columbus Blue Jackets NHL Prediction:
This seems like a puck line play regardless of what Winnipeg does on Tuesday night in Carolina. The Jets are fatigued, and just ready for the all-star break to get here. Columbus is rested, and wants a 6-game win streak to enter the break.
