The Sharks amazing 11-3-1 home record is the driving force behind San Jose being significant favorites on Thursday night. The Sharks are up against a Winnipeg team that has rattled off wins in 5 of their last 6 games with their offense being simply on fire. The Jets are just +108 as underdogs Thursday – are they worth the play?
Winnipeg Jets
There are a lot of questions surrounding the Jets as they come into Thursday’s game fresh off a 1-4 beating from the Kings as -157 favorites in LA. Before the last game Winnipeg had been one of the most solid bets in the game after a five game win streak in which they produced 27 total goals. San Jose has a top 5 defense in SOG and is 14th in opponents scoring so do they shut down Winnipeg in this one?

The Jets might not bounce back into form against a tough Sharks defense. If that’s the case then Connor Hellebuyck will have to be his usual dominant self in net. The Jets goaltender has gone 6-2 over his last 8 starts but has given up 3+ goals in five of those contests.
San Jose Sharks
Why are the Sharks such odds on favorites on Thursday? For one they have won five in a row as well as 7 of their last 8. Over that span San Jose has netted 4+ pucks five times. That trend should continue on Thursday as the Sharks are one of the best offensive teams in the league, ranking 3rd in SOG and 9th in scoring. The Jets defense is OK – but haven’t shut out one opponent yet through 33 games.

The Sharks might not need a whole lot of goals if Martin Jones returns to form in net. He’s gone 5-1 his last 6 decisions allowing 2 goals or less in 5 of those contests. If you wonder why this total is set so low, #31 in goal is a major reason.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Jets are 5-1 their last 6 road games
- Jets are 5-12 their last 17 vs. a team with a winning record
- Sharks are 5-0 their last five overall
- Sharks are 5-2 last 7 on 1 days rest
Free Winnipeg Jets vs. San Jose Sharks NHL Prediction:
The NHL has a very balanced slate on Thursday in which there’s value on either team. This contest is no exception. Both teams played Tuesday night although the Jets may have the fatigue advantage since they played in LA (San Jose was in Minnesota). Both squads have solid goaltending and this could really go either way.
