Blues, Jets Play Game 2
The St. Louis Blues look to even up the series when they take on the Winnipeg Jets tonight in Game 2 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series at Canada Life Centre.
The Blues let a third period lead slip away in dropping the opener 5-3 on Saturday. The series shifts to St. Louis after this game for Game 3 on Thursday night.
Blues Need More Pucks On Net
The Blues had success against Connor Hellebuyck in Game 1 by shooting high shots, with two of their goals going high glove and the other above the blocker. The problem was the Blues only put 17 pucks on net, including recording just 2 shots on goal in the third period.
Jordan Kyrou hasn’t been bashful firing the puck at the net, as his 4 shots led the Blues in Game 1 along with his 239 shots for the regular season being tops on the team.
Scheifele Flying For Jets
Jets center Mark Scheifele has been in red hot form, as he’s recorded at least one point in 12 of his last 14 games. He averaged over a point per game this season with 39 goals and 48 assists.
Scheifele had 2 assists and scored a power play goal in Game 1, continuing Winnipeg’s outstanding season with the man advantage. The Jets’ power play ranked first in the NHL in the regular season with a 28.9% success rate.
My Pick
I’m focusing on Kyrou and Scheifele because that’s where I’m going for my bet in Game 2, as I just don’t like anything with the side or total.
I’m taking a Same Game Parlay on DraftKings with Kyrou to record at least two shots on goal and Scheifele to register at least one point.
Kyrou has put at least two pucks on net in 19 of his last 21 games and in 65 of his 83 games overall this season - that’s a 78% hit rate for the season.
And if you bet on Scheifele to get a point in every game this season, your record would be 59-24 - that’s a 71% success rate.
If you put these two pieces together that are likely to hit, you get a solid -125 price on DraftKings.
Pick: Same Game Parlay priced at -125 on DraftKings - Jordan Kyrou to record 2+ shots on goal AND Mark Scheifele to record 1+ points (bet to -130)
