Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings have been one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference, winning four of their last five outings (L1), a run that has moved them to second place in the standings with 49 points.
They trail the Carolina Hurricanes by only two points, and right now, it’s hard to see any squad stopping Detroit. The Red Wings have built this impressive run on the back of a never-say-die attitude, with their last three wins coming after overtime.
The Jets, on the other hand, look like a shell of the side that terrorized the Western Conference in the 2024-25 season.

They’ve suffered a disappointing 3-1 home loss to the Oilers, a game in which they mustered 42 shots on goal but only found the back of the net once. The lack of efficiency on offence has been their Achilles heel this season, as they rank 22nd in goals per encounter (2.86) but 16th in goals allowed (3.05).
The Red Wings haven’t fared much better based on those metrics, as they own the 15th-best offence (3.08 goals scored per game) and the 20th-best defence (3.18 goals allowed).
The main difference for Detroit has been their effectiveness on the power play (fourth-best in the league at 25 percent), and they’re clearly riding their hottest stretch of the campaign.

All those factors should allow the Red Wings to continue their impressive run with a win here. They’ve won five of their last six at Little Caesars Arena (L1), while the Jets have lost six in a row away from home. Those splits are telling and should also back a Detroit victory.
Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Lucas Raymond over 0.5 points
One of the best Red Wings players during this impressive stretch has been Lucas Raymond. The winger leads Detroit in scoring this season with 42 points (11 goals, 31 assists) across 38 appearances, and he’s delivered four assists over the last five contests.
Considering all the defensive issues the Jets have had against opposing playmakers this season, expect Raymond to create havoc against a struggling Winnipeg team.
One of the best young wingers in the NHL at age 23, he’s notched 15 points (three goals, 12 helpers) in 14 games in December. He’ll look to end the calendar year on a strong note while taking advantage of a slumping Jets defence.
Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 total goals + Mark Scheifele over 0.5 points + Dylan Larkin over 0.5 points
Even though neither the Red Wings nor the Jets rank high in terms of goals scored per game (15th and 22nd, respectively) or goals allowed (20th and 16th), this clash could very well hit the over on the 4.5 total goals market.
Each of the last six head-to-head meetings between these two teams has produced at least six goals
If the Jets are going to have a shot at pulling off an upset, they’ll need to rely on their star players like Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele.

The latter has been putting up solid numbers of late and enters this fixture with five points over his last five outings (two goals, three assists). Scheifele co-leads the Jets in scoring this season with 45 points in 37 appearances, matching Connor’s total.
We’ll round out our three-leg parlay with Dylan Larkin, who has notched three goals over the Red Wings’ last five contests. The 29-year-old hasn’t been as productive as Raymond this season, but with 20 goals and 36 total points, he’s also a strong bet to crack the scoresheet.

Winnipeg Jets Team News
The Jets will be at full strength and aren’t dealing with any injury concerns. Star defenceman Josh Morrissey was doubtful for Monday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers, but he ended up playing.
