Our top Jets vs. Kraken predictions are looking at Winnipeg winger Kyle Connor to get a helper in my best NHL picks for Sunday, March 16.
My Jets pick: Kyle Connor Over 0.5 assists (-130 at Pinnacle)
My Jets analysis
Kyle Connor has always been a scorer but he’s piled up the assists this season as well. The Winnipeg Jets winger has already tied his career high of 49 assists in just 67 games to go along with 35 goals for a team-leading 84 points.
Connor is coming off a great performance against the Stars in which he picked up two goals and an assist. He’s been finding the scoresheet consistently for over a month now with 17 points (12 assists) in 12 games since February 7.
The Jets have their top line rolling and Winnipeg has scored a league-best 57 power-play goals. Connor is a big part of both units as we’ve seen in recent weeks.
Connor has an assist in two straight, six of seven, and 10 of 12. On the season, the top-line winger has a helper in 38 of 67 games.
The Seattle Kraken have allowed the eighth-most goals in the league (215) including 34 in their last nine games. Look for the Jets to get a few tallies on the board with Connor getting in on the action.
The Jets’ odds opened at -170 but they’ve dropped 15 cents to -155 as of Sunday afternoon. This could be due to the news that backup goalie Eric Comrie is likely to start. Still, Comrie is 7-8-1 with a very respectable .914 save percentage this season.
The total has seen a bit of movement as well. It’s still at 5.5 at most shops but the Over 5.5 is now favored rather strongly at -123 with the Under 5.5 at +106.
