Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks Moneyline Prediction

The Sharks aren’t exactly finishing the regular season on a high note, having dropped four of their last five games (W1, L3, OT1), including their latest 5-2 defeat to the Chicago Blackhawks. San Jose have gone W5, L4, OT1 over their last 10 outings, and that inconsistency ultimately cost them a playoff spot.

The Jets have also fallen short of the postseason, and there’s a strong case that they’re in even worse form than their opponents.

Even though they’ve gone W5, L5 over their last 10 contests, Winnipeg have struggled down the stretch and are now on a three-game losing streak, with all three defeats coming in regulation.

It’s difficult to separate these teams since neither should be overly motivated. However, the Jets are expected to rest some players for this regular-season finale, while the Sharks should be at full strength with Macklin Celebrini leading the way.

Additionally, San Jose hold the edge in the head-to-head matchup, having won both meetings against Winnipeg this season.

This may not turn into a high-scoring contest given both sides’ recent offensive struggles, but the Sharks should have what it takes to end the regular season with a win.

Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks Player Prop

Celebrini has been the Sharks’ best player all season long, and the star playmaker should find a way to record at least one point in the final game of the 2025-26 regular season.

The 19-year-old forward surpassed the 100-point mark in just his second year in the league and enters Thursday’s action with 112 points (44 goals, 68 assists) in 81 outings.

Celebrini went pointless in Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks, but he’s still ending the year on a strong note with 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) over his last 11 appearances. He should take advantage of the Jets’ defensive woes to leave his mark in the finale.

Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks Same Game Parlay

This matchup features two underwhelming defences, with the Jets ranking 19th in goals allowed per game (3.09) and the Sharks sitting 30th (3.57). However, neither team have shown the ability to take advantage of struggling defences, and both rank in the bottom half of the league in goals per game as well.

The previous two head-to-head meetings have produced under 4.5 goals, and there’s little reason to expect a high-scoring affair since neither side have too much to play for.

The Sharks have had the upper hand in the previous two head-to-head encounters, and unlike the Jets, they’re not expected to make drastic personnel changes ahead of this regular-season finale.

If Winnipeg start Eric Comrie between the posts to give Connor Hellebuyck some rest, things could get ugly for them, so we’re banking on the Sharks’ offence to get the job done.

Last but not least, expect Mark Scheifele to deliver solid numbers for the Jets. He’s been playing well lately and has recorded nine points over his last five games, tallying two goals and seven assists. Even if Winnipeg fall short, Scheifele should still make an impact offensively.
