Who Will Win?
The numbers say this is a tight match-up on paper. Winnipeg hold the higher ladder rank at 14th with 10 points from 8 games, backing that up with a solid 0.897 save percentage and a power play unit humming at 30%. Kyle Connor has been weapons-grade up front with 8 goals and 3 assists, supported by Cole Perfetti (5G, 3A) and Mark Scheifele (2G, 6A). However, the Jets are coming off a 2-3 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday, 18 Oct, and have dropped two on the bounce overall.
St Louis sit 26th with 7 points, but their attack has plenty of pop, averaging 3.38 goals per game this season and 4 goals per game over their last five overall starts. Mason McTavish leads their scoring charts with 5 goals and 4 assists, alongside Pius Suter (3G, 3A) and Connor McMichael (2G, 4A). They are also coming off a last-start defeat — falling 2-5 to the Nashville Predators on the road — but hold a 5-3 win over Columbus in their last home outing. With St Louis priced at 1.70 to win including OT and Winnipeg at 2.15, the home side rates a real chance to bounce back on home ice.
