In terms of the over-under, bettors have seen the total score go under in two of the games and over in just one. Looking at the game statistics, the Flyers have demonstrated strong goaltending performances, recording shutouts in both of their wins.

The most recent game between the two teams took place on January 13, 2024, and ended with a 2-0 victory for the Philadelphia Flyers over the Winnipeg Jets.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Philadelphia Flyers Predictions

The Jets, currently 5th in the Western Conference, have hit a rough patch with a string of losses that they’re desperate to end. Their offense, led by Mark Scheifele with 41 points, and Kyle Connor, the team’s top goal scorer, will need to find ways to penetrate the Flyers’ defense. Despite their recent struggles, the Jets have been strong on the road, boasting a 14-6-3 record, which could play to their advantage in this matchup.

Philadelphia, holding the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference, has had an inconsistent season but has shown flashes of brilliance, particularly at home. Travis Konecny has been a standout performer, leading the team with 23 goals and 43 points. The Flyers will rely on their recent momentum and the support of the home crowd to take down the formidable Jets. Defensively, both teams have had their ups and downs, but it will be the Flyers’ ability to capitalize on power plays, as they have in past encounters, that could tip the scales in their favor.

This game could come down to goaltending and special teams. The Jets’ Connor Hellebuyck and the Flyers’ Samuel Ersson will be key figures between the pipes. The matchup to watch will be the Jets’ power play against the Flyers’ penalty kill, which could ultimately decide the outcome of what promises to be an exciting and closely contested game.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick

Despite the Winnipeg Jets’ recent skid, their overall season performance and strong road record make them the smart moneyline bet in this matchup. The Jets have a notable 14-6-3 record on the road, suggesting they can rise to the occasion away from home. With offensive leaders like Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, the Jets have the firepower to overcome the Flyers’ defense. Additionally, the Jets have historically performed well against the Flyers, winning the last encounter and showing resilience in away games. The Flyers may have the home-ice advantage and a recent win under their belt, but the Jets’ desperation to snap their losing streak and their superior conference standing give them the edge in this game.

The historic head-to-head data indicates that the visiting team has won all three previous encounters, which bodes well for the Jets. While the Flyers have shown they can shut out the Jets, Winnipeg’s goaltender Connor Hellebuyck’s strong performance in the last game against the Flyers, despite the loss, suggests he can be a difference-maker. The Jets’ recent losses have been close contests, and with the Flyers’ inconsistent season and struggles to cover the spread at home, the Jets are poised to capitalize on their urgency to return to winning ways. Therefore, the Winnipeg Jets moneyline bet is the recommended choice for this game.

The Pick: Winnipeg Jets -140 (Bet365)
