The Winnipeg Jets haven’t been overwhelming lately, moreso just whelming, as they are 5-5 over their last 10. Nobody could blame Winnipeg for complacency as they sit atop the Central, but urgency might have to creep in soon as Nashville is just 2 points back for the top spot.
The Kings also have something going for them – being only 2 points ahead of Ottawa for worst record in the league and thus the best chance at the top draft pick. LA is just 2-6-2 over their last 10.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets must go on the road after finding a bit of momentum at home with back-to-back wins over Boston and Calgary. Winnipeg is a solid 18-16 away from their own ice this season, but they’ve been underdogs in their last three going away (2-1).
The Jets bring one of the league’s most potent offenses into the Staples Center on Monday. Blake Wheeler has 16 points over his last 10 games to lead the way against the Kings #22 scoring defense.

Connor Hellebuyck will man the net Monday vs. LA’s second-to-worst offense in terms of scoring and shots on goal. It should be a dominant night for Hellebuyck who most recently stopped 27 of 28 Flames shots.
Los Angeles Kings
LA doesn’t have a whole lot going on right now and at this point in the season losses are actually wins. Even so in the last 10 games the Kings have wins over Anaheim and Chicago and have went to OT vs. Dallas and Tampa Bay.
The Kings could be a solid bet against on the puck line as 5 of their last 7 losses have been by more than a goal. The Kings offense has also been held to 2 goals or less in 4 of 6.

The once mighty Jonathan Quick takes the net Monday with a save percentage that has dipped below .900 (.891). He had a rough stretch at the end of February allowed 12 total goals in back-to-back starts while never facing more than 23 shots.
Quick has also given up 4 goals in 2 of his last 4 starts, going 1-3 over that span. The Jets #6 scoring offense poses some problems on Monday.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Jets are 1-5 in their last 6 as road favorites
- Kings are 25-51 their last 76 overall
- Kings are 0-4 their last four home games
- Jets are 4-9 the last 13 in Los Angeles
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Jets PL
Winnipeg is on the road after a three game home stand but they put up 16 total scores in their most recent 4 game road swing. The Kings have lost four straight at home and even though Winnipeg has struggled in LA in the past, this is a Jets team that needs a big win Monday.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Jets 6 – Kings 2
Winnipeg’s offense is just too much vs. a shaky Quick.
