Winnipeg is in strong UNDER territory on the total. The UNDER is 10-3-1 in the Jets' last 14 games. Winnipeg has yielded two or fewer goals in four of its last five games. During this time frame, the Jets are holding their opponents to an average of two goals a game. U.S. Olympic hero Connor Hellebuyck is likely to get the start in net. Hellebuyck started the season slowly, but has rounded into his elite form. He has a 2.73 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage in 40 games this season. The Jets play with a lot of defensive confidence when Hellebuyck is in goal. Vancouver lost, 3-2, to the Jets in its first game back from the Olympics on Feb. 25. Vancouver has the worst defense in the NHL. The Canucks' offense, though, isn't much better, ranking second-to-last in scoring. Vancouver had only managed two or fewer goals in nine of 10 games before defeating the Blackhawks, 6-3, in Chicago last night. The Canucks did that against Chicago backup goalie Arvid Soderblom. Take the UNDER.
