If this weren't the second of a B2B for Winnipeg, I'd bet the full amount available on SL (two units). It's not that the Yotes aren't good, they are just really banged up and Karel Vejmelka has lost six straight starts with a poor .880 save percentage. But it is the second of a B2B and backup Laurent Brossoit for the Jets so we will play it cautious even though I'd be surprised if they lose.
Winnipeg at home is averaging 3.7 goals per game, which coincides nicely with Arizona allowing 3.6 per game on the road. The Coyotes should be able to contribute here, they're averaging over 3 goals per game as the visitor, and Winnipeg is skating on the second night of a back-to-back. Earlier this year, these two met and combined for 8 goals, it's not hard to see a similar type of outcome in this one. The key is the special teams, that being penalties handed out and penalty kill rates. Arizona hands out plenty of power plays to aid the Jets offense, and Winnipeg's PK is one of the league's worst of late, which should help the Yotes and their highly successful PP unit. Bring on the goals.
