Jets vs Penguins prediction
Jets vs Penguins best bet: Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists (-125)
Mark Scheifele leads the Winnipeg Jets in basically every major offensive category, including assists. He’s tallied 52 of them, and in March, the veteran has nine helpers.
Scheifele has cashed the Over in three of his last five appearances, and he’s collected 20 of his assists on the road across 32 games. Most notably, he already made his presence felt against the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the campaign, handing out two helpers.
Pittsburgh also just allowed six goals in its last game. Scheifele will help Winnipeg make some noise here.
Jets vs Penguins same-game parlay
Kyle Connor is one of the best players in the NHL, and he’s lived up to the hype this season after signing a massive contract extension in the offseason. The Team USA gold medalist has 78 points in total, including 31 goals and 47 assists.
He’s cashed the Over in points in four of his last five outings, and Connor even had three points on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. He’s compiled 32 points in 32 road contests this season as well, scoring twice against the Pens already.
Winnipeg has won four straight against Pittsburgh, outscoring them 15-6 across the last three meetings. While the Jets do have a record five games below .500 on the road, and the Pens are set to be in the playoffs, it’s hard to ignore Winnipeg’s recent success against them.
