2/23 NHL GAME OF THE NIGHT
1. Winnipeg Jets -270
— Winnipeg has had a shaky start to the new year but has truly found their rhythm heading into the final two months of the season. With four wins out of their last five games, the Jets have created some breathing room away from the Wild Card race and have seen scoring from up and down the lineup, including from players who were underperforming to start the year, such as Sean Monahan and Gabriel Vilardi. Vilardi, in particular, has returned to his top-line role with the Jets and has been insanely successful over his last three games with four goals and four assists. Coming into tonight against the Blackhawks, who are currently the worst team in the league, I recommend prioritizing the Jets for your parlays and single bets tonight. To say the Flames have been underperforming has been an understatement. Even by their own standards, they have been terrible. They only have four wins in 2024 and have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Statistically, they sit near the bottom (or dead last) in every statistical category (goals, shots, goals allowed, shots allowed, shooting percentage, power play percentage and faceoff percentage to name a few), and they have picked up serious injuries at the worst times (i.e. Connor Murphy, Taylor Hall, and Connor Bedard). Although Bedard is now back, the Blackhawks’ fortunes haven’t changed, and I’ll be relying heavily on the Jets tonight.
