Vancouver Canucks vs Winnipeg Jets Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Winnipeg Jets
- Odds: -209 (Tonybet)
The Jets ended their slump with a comeback win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, scoring four goals in the final three minutes of regulation before winning in overtime. However, the win doesn’t erase their struggles, as they have gone 1-7-2 over their last 10 games.

The Canucks have had an even tougher stretch, winning just once in their last 10 and losing eight times in regulation. They are coming off a 5-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday and have now dropped three straight.
Winnipeg is the pick because it is at home, has momentum from Tuesday’s comeback, and faces a Canucks team on a three-game losing skid.
Vancouver Canucks vs Winnipeg Jets Projected Starting Goalies
- Vancouver Canucks: Leevi Merilainen (2-5-1, 3.31 GAA, .897 save percentage)
- Winnipeg Jets: Stuart Skinner (4-4-3, 3.41 GAA, .882 save percentage)
Leevi Merilainen has been forced to play as the No. 1 goaltender due to the absence of Thatcher Demko (hip), but his numbers are much better than those of backup Kevin Lankinen (6.03 GAA, .808 save percentage). Skinner has allowed at least four goals in each of his last three appearances, so neither side has a clear edge in goal.
Vancouver Canucks vs Winnipeg Jets Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Kyle Connor 1+ Goals
- Odds: -103 (Tonybet)
Kyle Connor scored twice against Montreal on Tuesday and has four goals in his last four appearances. The star forward is averaging 21:27 of ice time per game.
He also averages 4.18 shots on goal per game, and the matchup is favourable. The Canucks rank last in the league in shots on goal against (412) and xGA (44.83).
Vancouver Canucks vs Winnipeg Jets Total Goals Prediction
- Total Goals Pick: Over 5.5 Goals
- Odds: -164 (Tonybet)
The Canucks have the NHL’s worst defence by a wide margin, allowing 4.53 goals per game, while the Jets rank 29th at 3.63. Offence has not been a strength for either team, with Vancouver ranking 19th in goals scored (3.00 per game) and Winnipeg sitting fourth-last (2.44).
“The level of compete and pushback, and sticking up for one another – there’s some positives to tonight.”

The Canucks have scored three or fewer goals in eight of their last 10 outings, but their defence leaks enough for the total to clear 5.5 regardless. Vancouver’s last five games have all gone over 5.5 goals, as have four of the Jets’ last five.

The Canucks are also short on forward depth without Filip Chytil (upper body), Mackenzie MacEachern (undisclosed), and Akil Thomas (undisclosed). Max Sasson, Paul Cotter, and Linus Karlsson are covering in bottom-six roles.
Tonight’s clash is the first of Vancouver’s two-game road trip. Both teams last played on Tuesday, so each has had one day of rest.
Winnipeg Jets Team News and Injury Report
Winnipeg’s biggest loss is star blueliner Josh Morrissey, who remains on injured reserve with a wrist injury and hasn’t played since October 7. Haydn Fleury has been filling in for him at even strength and on the power play.
