Sport: Ice Hockey Market: Detroit Red Wings @ Winnipeg Jets Pick: Total UNDER 5 ½ goals Odds: $1.73 Agency: Betfair Wager: 3 Units Game Time: Midday AEDT Analysis: The Detroit Red Wings come off a 5-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Darren Helm scored his first of the season as five different Red Wings scored goals in the win. Peter Mrazek had 14 saves for the shutout as Detroit dominated the Oilers on the road. The Winnipeg Jets come off a 1-5 beat down at the hands of the defending champ Chicago Blackhawks. Tobias Enstrom had the lone goal in the game for the Jets. Ondrej Pavelec was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots. The Jets are desperate for a win here and will likely tighten things up for this game with a Red Wings team that can make you look silly as well. The Jets are averaging less than three goals a game in the last seven and I expect them to have more problems against a good Red Wings team. Take the UNDER 5 ½ goals in this one for 3 units. Sport: Ice Hockey Market: Detroit Red Wings @ Winnipeg Jets Pick: Red Wings Win Odds: $1.68 Agency: Centrebet Wager: 3 Units Game Time: Midday AEDT Analysis: The Winnipeg Jets host the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night. Its Winnipeg that gets the advantage of playing at home, but its Detroit that is correctly installed as the favourite in this one. The Red Wings have been total road warriors this season. The club is 6-2 on the road this season. Theyve been even better on the road of late. The team is concluding a three-day western road trip on this night, having swept the first three legs of the trip. The monotony of an 82 game season can drain players, so creating small milestones like sweeping a four game road trip can really keep things interesting for the players. As for Winnipeg, theyve struggled mightily this season, with their head coach even suggesting he would bench the entire team if he could. The Jets are just 3-6 in their nine home games this season, and 1-6 in their last seven games overall. The Red Wings are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings between these teams. Take the Red Wings to win this one for 3 units. #EasyMoney
