Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Winnipeg Jets 2nd Period 3-Way Moneyline (+200)

The Winnipeg Jets have been struggling lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. However, they can be tough to play against at home, landing a good number of hits and blocking shots well. This means they can disrupt the Lightning's offense, especially in the second period when teams often get tired. The Tampa Bay Lightning have won 6 of their last 10, making them a solid team, but they might underestimate the Jets at Canada Life Centre.

Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Brandon Hagel Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-110)

Brandon Hagel has been buzzing lately, and the matchup against the Winnipeg Jets could be a great opportunity for him. The Jets haven't been winning much, managing only two victories in their last ten games. This could lead to more chances for Hagel to fire off shots as the Jets try to keep the Lightning at bay. Hagel's ability to score is backed by his solid play, and with the Jets blocking fewer shots than average, he might find openings to shoot. However, it's worth noting that both teams are close in blocking shots, so it could be a tight battle. Still, we're confident he can hit over 2.5 shots on goal in this game.

Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Stuart Skinner Over 23.5 Saves (-108)

Stuart Skinner needs to make over 23 saves for this bet to win tonight. He's been in a tough spot with the Winnipeg Jets, who have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. The Tampa Bay Lightning, on the other hand, are playing well, winning 6 of their last 10, which means Skinner could face a lot of shots tonight. Skinner's team blocks shots at a decent rate, but they still allow a lot of opportunities for the other team. With Tampa Bay pushing for more offense, it's likely Skinner will see plenty of action in goal. The biggest risk is how close the teams are in terms of recent form, so while it's a solid pick, there's no guarantee he'll hit that save mark.

Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Brandon Hagel Over 0.5 Points (-135)

Brandon Hagel has been doing well lately, and the matchup against the Winnipeg Jets looks promising for him. The Jets have struggled, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. With their focus on blocking shots and racking up hits, it might open up opportunities for Hagel to make a mark. He's been playing well, and the Lightning have won 6 of their last 10, giving them good momentum. While the Jets do block a decent number of shots, Hagel's skills make him a strong pick to score points in this game. He's been finding ways to get involved on the ice, and with the home crowd at Canada Life Centre, the energy could help him shine. The biggest risk is how close both teams can be, but with the way Hagel has been performing, it's worth a shot to bet on him getting over 0.5 points.
