Winnipeg Jets (1-3-0) vs. Edmonton Oilers (1-3-0)
The NHL betting action continues Saturday, October 21, 2023, with a huge 15-game card including the Western Conference showdown at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, so here’s the best Jets vs. Oilers pick.
Winnipeg heads to Rogers Place as a +142 moneyline underdog. Edmonton is a -160 home fave, while the total sits at 6.5 goals and is juiced to the over. Last season, Winnipeg took two out of three contests from Edmonton, and two of those three tilts have gone over a 6.5-goal line.
The Winnipeg Jets wrapped up a three-game homestand last Thursday. After a 6-4 victory to the Florida Panthers, the Jets have suffered two straight losses against the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 and the Vegas Golden Knights 5-3.
Winnipeg battled bravely against the reigning Stanley Cup champions. The Jets outshot the Golden Knights 39-27, and the game was tied at 3-3 when Jack Eichel converted a power-play opportunity with 4:36 to go in the third period. Alex Iafallo scored a couple of goals for the Jets, who went 1-for-2 with the man advantage.
“It’s frustrating to lose, obviously,” Iafallo said. “You want to win every game but we are just going to stay positive. I feel like we are doing a lot of good things. We need to clean up some mistakes but, at the same time, we are just going to keep close moving, climbing that mountain.”
Laurent Brossoit was in the net last Thursday, surrendering four goals on 26 shots. Connor Hellebuyck will return to the crease on Saturday, and the 30-year-old goalie has gone 1-2-0 with a hideous 4.38 GAA and a .843 save percentage so far this season. Hellebuyck is 12-12-2 with a 3.22 GAA and a .899 save percentage in 26 career appearances against Edmonton.
