New Jersey started the season at 0-7 a year ago, and certainly came into this season focused as to not let history repeat itself. They opened the season on a with a blitz of scoring as they tallied 11 goals in two wins to start the season, but the offense has disappeared since then. The 11 goals scored in the first two contests have been replaced by 17 goals scored in the last seven at just over 2 per contest. Winnipeg has had their own issues with consistently supplying offense as through their first nine games on the season. They have scored 2 or fewer goals in six of the nine, leading to a 5-2-1 mark to the UNDER in their last eight games. That includes 5-1 to the UNDER on a day of rest. New Jersey brings with them a 40-16-8 mark to the UNDER vs. the Western Conference, and the last four in this series have all come up shy of the total. Take the UNDER in this one.
