Winnipeg Jets vs New York Islanders Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: New York Islanders
The Islanders have strong chances of winning this matchup. Over their last 10 games, they’ve posted a 6-2-2 record, scoring nearly three goals per encounter and allowing around 2.2, which translates to a more stable play on both ends. By contrast, Winnipeg’s last 10 results have been mixed, as they’ve gone 2-5-3. The Jets carry a negative goal differential, skewing toward conceding more than scoring.
The Islanders rely on creating a balanced attack through different lines while keeping defence tight to suppress high-danger chances. Winnipeg’s recent defensive weaknesses and inconsistent goaltending leave them vulnerable to sustained scoring pressure. New York’s forecheck and neutral-zone transitions are great against teams that struggle with controlled exits.

If Ilya Sorokin starts this matchup, it’ll further strengthen the Islanders’ moneyline case. He recently returned from injury with a shutout performance and a franchise record. Sorokin’s recent results translate to elite form and rebound confidence. Winnipeg have rotated through goalies amid ongoing inconsistencies, reducing their ability to netmind closely.
Market trends favour the Islanders as the stronger side, as they boast substantial ATS numbers and a history of scoring multiple goals. However, the betting lines tend to underprice that edge. Winnipeg have the respect of the market because they play at home, but that doesn’t mean much.
Expect a structured and possession-driven game, with the Islanders forcing the Jets into a constant recovery state. This script supports the moneyline pick.
Winnipeg Jets vs New York Islanders Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Bo Horvat Anytime Point
Bo Horvat is the Islanders’ most consistent goal producer this season, with 21 goals and 12 assists so far. His strong power-play usage is central to the team’s tactics. This matchup seems perfect for Horvat to secure a point or even more.
In recent outings, the Jets have conceded goals at a high rate, particularly from forward lines. The Islanders’ offence spreads chances, which means that Horvat gets opportunities from both even-strength and power-play chances.
Horvat sees PP1 time and top-line minutes consistently, and he’s involved in key scoring situations, which boosts his expected points per game.
Winnipeg Jets vs New York Islanders Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Islanders ML + Over 5.5 Goals + Bo Horvat Anytime Point
The same game parlay is built on a simple script: both teams push offence, with the Islanders controlling possession and tempo. New York’s moneyline anchors this parlay, given the squad’s recent form and better away performance.
Horvat’s point prop correlates with the Islanders creating multiple goal-scoring chances and converting them effectively. This is further supported by their attacking style. New York’s ML + Horvat point combination is linked through offensive usage, while the over 5.5 goals fits both teams’ recent scoring patterns.
Winnipeg Jets vs New York Islanders Team News
Winnipeg Jets Team News
The Jets have no significant injuries for this matchup. Key players in their lineup include Kyle Connor (21G, 31A), who leads their offensive production, and Gabriel Vilardi, a key contributor in recent outings.
After an extended 11-game losing streak, Winnipeg have snapped the skid with a 1-5 win over the Los Angeles Kings and a 4-3 victory against the New Jersey Devils. Consistency is what produces good results, so unless the Jets are ready to maintain good defensive form, it might just be a temporary comeback.

With Ilya Sorokin back from injury, the Islanders’ chances are improved. He’s returned with a franchise-record shutout, positioning himself as a cornerstone of the team. Other key players to look out for include Bo Horvat and Matthew Barzal, who will be driving the offence, with Simon Holmstrom as a key contributor.
The Islanders have been strong over their last 10 games, showing balance between scoring and defence. Their results on the road confirm that they travel well.
