St. Louis Blues @ Winnipeg Jets - May 4, 2025

Hey there, hockey fans! Get ready for some serious action this Sunday as our St. Louis Blues take on the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre. Now, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that these two teams have a history – and familiarity can lead to some heated contests. After all, the last matchup saw our Blues giving the Jets a solid 5-2 smackdown on May 2nd. And trust me, I’m still riding that high!

Oddsmakers opened with the Jets as -150-moneyline favorites, but don’t let those numbers fool you. The Blues have been hot lately with a record of 47-33-8 SU and are coming into this game riding a wave of confidence after going 4-1 against the spread in their last five games. They’ve also managed to secure victory in 16 out of their last 22 games. Can you say momentum? Yes, please!

Now let’s dive into what we can expect from each squad based on their offensive and defensive stats. The Jets come into this contest averaging about 3.3 goals per game off roughly 28 shots with a shooting percentage hovering around 12%. Their power play is decent too; they convert nearly 29% of their chances into goals while boasting a strong penalty kill percentage at around 79%. But here’s where things get interesting: despite all that firepower, they’ve struggled recently with just one win against the spread in their last five outings.

On the flip side, our beloved Blues average about 3.1 goals per game from approximately 26 shots with an impressive shooting percentage of around 12%. Their power play isn’t half bad either; they’re converting about 22% of their chances – not spectacular but definitely enough to keep defenses on their toes.

Defensively, Winnipeg shows up strong with an impressive save percentage of about 91.5%, making them tough to crack when it counts most. However, when I look at our Blues’ defense? They’re working hard too but sit lower at around an 89.7% save percentage along with a less-than-stellar penalty kill rate of just over 74%.

So what’s my prediction? You better believe I’m feeling good vibes for our St. Louis squad! While I think the Jets might edge out a win overall – thanks to home ice advantage and solid offense – I wouldn’t be surprised if our Blues cover that spread again!

As for total scoring? I’m feeling an under vibe here given both teams’ recent trends which lean towards lower-scoring outcomes despite how explosive they can be on any given night.

So grab your jerseys folks; it’s game day! Let’s cheer loud and proud as we support our boys in blue—because loyalty runs deep in this city! Let’s go Blues!
