- The Jets are a 1.5-goal home favorite against the Blues.
- The home team has won each of the Blues' last 11 games.
- My Jets vs Blues prediction is for Winnipeg to win outright and cover the puck line.
After consecutive losses in St. Louis, the Jets return home for Game 5 against the Blues in their Western Conference series.
St. Louis achieved a 5-1 home win against Winnipeg in Game 4 to tie the series at 2-2. It comes after a 7-2 win in Game 3 for the Blues, a wild card team.
Despite those losses, Winnipeg remains a heavy favorite to reach the second round. As it stands, oddsmakers price the Jets at -185 to win the series.

Jets vs Blues Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Jets vs Blues prediction for Wednesday’s game is the Jets Moneyline (-175) and Jets Puck Line (-1.5, +150).
Historically, it’s proven a profitable proposition to fade underdogs on a two-game winning streak that failed to reach the postseason.
Since 2006, favorites between -258 and -115 are 51-18 SU and 33-36 ATS, assuming two factors:
- The underdog failed to reach the playoffs the previous year
- The underdog’s winning streak is two games
While it’s a limited sample, those systems improve drastically when the favorite suffered a lopsided defeat in the previous game.
Four of those teams lost by four or more goals in their previous game. Their record in the subsequent contest: 4-0 SU and ATS.
Irrespective of margin, these teams also excel both SU and ATS when they’re playing at home.
Over the same timespan, home favorites fitting those system qualifications are 36-14 SU and 24-26 ATS.
Off a loss by multiple goals at home: 11-3 SU and 8-6 ATS.
As a result, I like the Jets to win outright and cover the spread at home on Wednesday.
