10:05 PM EST. OT included. The Jets’ bubble burst last night when they went into Vegas and got whacked 5-2. They’ll now play the tail end of back-to-back games, which means career stiff, Steve Mason will get the call in goal. That’s enough reason to fade the Jets but there’s more. Winnipeg is an analytics mess. Their Corsi against numbers are the second worst in the NHL ahead of only the Colorado Avalanche. This is truly a top-heavy team that relies on its top-two lines to carry the play but when any other line is out there, the Jets get dominated. Only the Schiefele/Wheeler/Ehlers line has a positive Corsi For while the rest of the lines spend more time in their own end. Connor Hellebucyk has bailed his team out plenty of times this year but he won’t be between the pipes to bail him out here.

Arizona is a frustrated team to be sure. They have been in plenty of games only to lose it in the third period. They have had two goal leads in plenty of those game too and they are scoring the first goal of the game more than any team in the NHL. We’re not suggesting for a second that the Coyotes are dominating games but we also know that they should have many more wins than they do and eventually things will even out for them. This is now a great opportunity for the ‘Yotes to put it all together against a team that played last night and who might be ripe for a slow start. After another very good game in St. Louis in which they lost in OT, the Coyotes are on the verge of some wins, as there is nothing in their game that suggests their spirit has been broken. The short (enticing) price here on the Jets is nothing but fool’s gold.
