My Prediction
Winnipeg Jets by 2I guess it's time to shift our attention to the clash of the night, where we see St. Louis Blues pay a visit to the Winnipeg Jets. Let's not forget how this game could turn out to be quite thrilling, given the solid lineup both teams have.
Between the pipes, we've got Jordan Binnington from the Blues, with his imposing 90.0% season save percentage, and let's not snub his partner-in-crime, Joel Hofer, pulling off a cool season save percentage of 90.4%. However, the Jets aren't at a disadvantage here, courtesy of their mighty goalie, Connor Hellebuyck, who's knocked out an impressive 94.5% of shots this season. His compatriot, Eric Comrie, has also put up good numbers with a season save percentage of 91.4%.
On the Blues' side, we've got quite a few notable players making their mark in recent matches. Robert Thomas and his 54 assists this season, partnered by Dylan Holloway with his 37 assists. Don't overlook Jordan Kyrou, who has banged in 33 goals this season. However, for the Jets, Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele have been lighting it up with 38 goals each season, while Cole Perfetti has contributed an impressive 18 goals this season.
Now, looking at history between the two teams over the past match-ups, the Jets have got the upper hand, winning 3 out of 5. But then again, the Blues have been in fantastic form recently, riding a 5-game winning streak into this match as opposed to the Jets’ varying fortunes with 2 losses in their last 5.
However, we can't dodge the fact that overall the Jets have a superior regular season record compared to the Blues, standing at 52 wins compared to the Blues' 43. You see, folks, stats don't lie - at least they try not to.
Now with all this hullabaloo of numbers and stats, who might take the cake in this match? Considering the data at our disposal, I'll bank on the Winnipeg Jets coming out on top. After doing the math, I anticipate a likely margin of victory at two points, but remember, that's just some computer talking, not an actual divine prediction.
