The Winnipeg Jets are set to visit St. Louis on Friday for Game 6 of their opening-round series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, aiming to eliminate the Blues. A notable trend in this series is that the home team has emerged victorious in every game. For the Blues to stay alive and force a Game 7 back in Winnipeg on Sunday, this pattern must persist.
According to the latest consensus odds, the St. Louis Blues are positioned as the favorites at home with a money line of -121 (meaning a $121 wager yields $100 in profit). Despite initially opening as favorites themselves, the Winnipeg Jets are now the road underdogs, listed at +101 (bet $100 to win $101). The total goals for the game are set with an over/under of 5.5, where the Under is currently favored at -130.
Jets winger Kyle Connor had a highly productive regular season, accumulating nearly 100 points. He has maintained his strong form against the Blues in this series, contributing significantly with four goals and four assists. His projected point total of 1.5 is a central element of the suggested NHL same-game parlay for Friday`s game, which was developed with insights from the SportsLine Projection Model.
Below are the SportsLine model`s three top-rated player prop selections for the Jets-Blues Game 6 matchup, along with the potential return if combined into a same-game parlay:
- Kyle Connor Under 1.5 total points (-235): Rated 5 stars
- Josh Morrisey Under 0.5 total points (-118): Rated 4 stars
- Pavel Buchnevich Under 0.5 total points (+116): Rated 4 stars
The SportsLine model predicts a low-scoring contest on Friday in St. Louis, influencing all three highlighted prop bets to be on the `Under` for total points. Kyle Connor is the only player among these with a point total prop line set higher than 0.5 (at 1.5). However, the model projects him to finish with just 0.4 total points. Furthermore, Connor has failed to exceed his total points prop in four of his last five games. Jets defenseman Josh Morrisey, who was fourth on the team in points during the regular season, has recorded only two points in this series, both assists in Game 1. The model forecasts just 0.1 total points for Morrisey. He has consistently finished under his points prop in recent road games against winning teams, with no points recorded in his last five such outings. For the Blues, Pavel Buchnevich ranks fourth on his team in points this season and has seven points in this series, including a hat trick in Game 3. Despite this, the model supports taking the Under on his 0.5 prop line, projecting him at 0.3 points. He has also gone under this prop line in four of the last five games where the Blues were the favored team.
