The incredible 15-1-0 Winnipeg Jets take on the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena tonight. Tampa has lost four straight games but is the slight home favorite at BET99 with -120 odds on the moneyline while Winnipeg is a +100 road dog.
With Winnipeg winning seven straight games, including a recent 7-4 victory over these same Bolts, I'll gladly take the Jets to win at +100.
Check out our same-game parlay for this game with +350 odds for the total to go OVER and for Kyle Connor and Nikita Kucherov to have a big say in tonight's game.

Jets vs Lightning Picks
Winnipeg Jets ML (+100) at BET99
With a recent 7-4 victory over the Lightning, Winnipeg has dominated this matchup with a 6-1SU (86%) record netting +6 units of profit. The Jets are rolling through teams winning seven straight games by an average of three goals! Nikolaj Ehlers has been a monster in that streak scoring five goals and nine points, OVER 0.5 points for Elhlers is -145 at BET99.
Meanwhile, Tampa has been dreadful with a four-game skid, losing the expected goals battle in three of the four games, only scoring an average of 2.5 goals, and also losing Brayden Point to injury. With no update on Point, he's likely out again tonight a loss that is hardest on linemate Jake Guentzel who only has one point in three games without his centerman. With Point out again tonight, UNDER 0.5 points for Guentzel at +150 from BET99 is a good bet.
Tampa has nothing going for it right now that would force me to bet against the league-leading Winnipeg Jets so I'm easily putting my money on Winnipeg at +100 on the moneyline.
Jets vs Lightning Same Game Parlay
The trends favor the OVER in this contest with Winnipeg seeing the total go OVER in seven of their last 10 games (70%), in five of their last five road games (100%), and in 13 of their last 20 games (65%) against the Lightning, including their most recent contest against the Bolts that finished with a 7-4 scoreline. Outside of the trends, the OVER is a good play with both teams having elite offensive units based on goals per game with Winnipeg ranking first (5.14) and Tampa third (4.00).
With Brayden Point out Kucherov will see even more of the puck than he usually does, if, as I believe, the total goes OVER six goals tonight Kuuuch and his average of 1.6 points per game this year and 1.8 points per game in his last five outings including a two-point night against Winnipeg a week ago, will show up at least twice on the scoresheet.
Elite goal scorers score in bunches and with Connor breaking a five-game scoring drought with two goals against the Rangers in his last game, expect the goals to fly in his next few outings, including tonight. Tampa has been poor defensively allowing the third-most goals against in the league at 4.13 goals per game so tonight is the perfect night for Connor to score.
Jets vs Lightning Player Prop
Mark Scheifele O0.5 Power Play Points (+210) at BET99
Mark Scheifele leads Winnipeg's power play for points with eight and Winnipeg's man-advantage is the most efficient in the league scoring on 42.2% of their opportunities. Tonight, they face a Tampa PK that ranks 24th in the league with a poor 75% efficiency.
Despite such a poor PK Tampa isn't playing disciplined hockey with the 12th-most penalties taken per 60 (4.10) and ranking 13th for times shorthanded per game (3.14). That lack of discipline plays right into our hands with this bet, Scheifele has a power play point in four of his last five games I know he'll get one tonight.
