Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Main Match Info

Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Moneyline Prediction

The Jets have been one of the early surprises of the 2026-27 NHL season (W3, L1). After losing to the Boston Bruins in the opener, they have defeated Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Colorado (3-2 in their last outing), and all of their games have been decided by one goal. They’ve scored 12 goals and conceded 10.

Anaheim has handled a tougher schedule. It defeated the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers before a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, leaving them 2-1-0 with nine goals for and 10 against. The Ducks are expected to start Lukas Dostal, who has allowed 10 goals on 78 shots over three games this season (.872 save percentage).

Winnipeg’s start rests on numbers that are unlikely to hold. The Jets are converting 40% of their power-play chances while killing 90% of their penalty-killing opportunities. Stuart Skinner has a .920 save percentage, which may be difficult to sustain over a larger sample.

Anaheim has controlled play better, allowing 26.7 shots per game to Winnipeg’s 32.8. At +100 against a Jets side priced at -122, the Ducks offer value.

Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Player Prop

Cutter Gauthier has four points (two goals, two assists) in Anaheim’s first three games, but his shot volume is a more reliable angle than a goals or points prop.

Gauthier has recorded at least four shots in each of his three appearances this season, 16 in total (5.3 per game). The over 3.5 line looks promising given his steady role as a top-six forward and power-play threat. Winnipeg allows 32.8 shots per game (third-most in the NHL), so he should get the looks to clear 3.5 for a fourth straight outing.

Among players with three or fewer games played, Gauthier ranks second in the NHL in shots with 16, trailing only Timo Meier (New Jersey Devils) with 18.

Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Total Goals Prediction

The Over has hit in only one of Winnipeg’s four games, and the last three each ended with exactly five goals. The Jets have scored three goals in every outing but allow just 2.50 per game, a figure built on a .924 team save percentage that is unlikely to last.


Anaheim’s games run higher. The Ducks score 3.00 and allow 3.33 goals per game, and two of their three encounters went over 5.5. With Dostal at an .872 save percentage, expect an open game in which even slight regression from Skinner pushes the total over 5.5.

Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Team News

Winnipeg Jets Team News

The Jets will remain weakened between the pipes for the foreseeable future, as star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is still away from the team and demanding a trade. Stuart Skinner has started in his place with a .920 save percentage and a 2.62 GAA.

The likely absence of star defenceman Josh Morrissey, who suffered an undisclosed injury against the Avalanche, could be huge for Winnipeg, and Dylan Samberg is projected to have a bigger role in the blueline if Morrissey is sidelined.

Kyle Connor (seven points) and Cole Perfetti (six points) have driven the offence through four games.

Anaheim Ducks Team News

The Ducks are uncertain about the availability of defenceman Drew Helleson, who’s dealing with a lower-body injury and is a game-time call for Friday. The 25-year-old is likely to serve on the third pairing once he’s healthy, so his absence shouldn’t be a big issue. Ian Moore (lower body) and Troy Terry (hip) are also sidelined, with Terry being a projected second-line forward when healthy.

Anaheim’s problems have been in goal rather than in front of it: the Ducks allow an average of 26.7 shots and 3.33 goals per game. Their strength is the attack. Beyond Gauthier, Leo Carlsson has seven points in three appearances, and Bennett Sennecke has three goals.
