Winnipeg Jets

Winnipeg failed last season, after which Rick Bowness became the head coach instead of Paul Maurice. He led his players to the playoffs in his first year, where they debuted surprisingly well. In the opening game, the Jets defeated Vegas – 5:1, with goals from the Canadians only in the second period. The Jets could not achieve the advantage because, in the second match the day before, they were defeated – 2:5, although after the first twenty minutes, they scored – 1:0. Nevertheless, Winnipeg has the advantage of home ice.

Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas is another team that did not achieve the playoffs last season; it was the first failure in their club history. After that, they also had a change of head coach, whose post was taken by Bruce Cassidy. The new head did not waste time but immediately began to show good results. Vegas not only made it to the Stanley Cup but also from first place in the Western Conference standings. Only now, the Knights could not take home ice advantage, losing in the first game to Winnipeg – 1:5, but in the second game, they took a convincing revenge – 5:2.

Expert Betting Tips

Winnipeg and Vegas exchanged wins in the opening two games of the series. Now the confrontation will be in Canada, where the advantage of home ice will already be on the side of the Jets. The Knights have a much more experienced and skilled lineup, and the return of injured players to the ranks immediately led to improved results. Moreover, Vegas has not lost on the road in regular time for 12 consecutive games, and they won nine of them and lost three more times outside of three periods.

Winnipeg and Vegas have been playing effectively, and even the status of Cup battles has yet to bother them. In total, in the previous eight games, the opponents scored 57 goals against each other (7.13 on average per game), which is a high result even by the standards of the NHL.
