The top team from the NHL regular season is facing a tough challenge in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. After taking a 2-0 lead in the series, the Winnipeg Jets have dropped the last two games to the St. Louis Blues, being outscored 12-3 in Games 3 and 4. This surge from St. Louis has tied the first-round matchup at two games apiece as the series heads back to Winnipeg for Game 5. The Jets are favored to rebound at home, currently holding -177 moneyline odds for Game 5 and -184 odds to win the series, while the Blues are listed as underdogs at +147 for the game and +152 for the series.
The projected total for Game 5 is set at 5.5 goals, with the Under currently favored at -140 compared to the Over at +118. Sports betting analysis platforms utilize computer models to simulate game outcomes and player performance. These models often provide valuable insights for potential wagers, including player-specific prop bets that can be combined into same-game parlays across various betting platforms.
Recommended Same-Game Parlay: Blues-Jets Game 5
Based on a prominent sports projection model`s analysis for Wednesday`s Game 5, here are three highly-rated player prop picks:
- Kyle Connor Under 1.5 total points
- Robert Thomas Under 0.5 total points
- Josh Morrissey Under 0.5 total points
Combining these three individual picks into a same-game parlay yields odds of +483.
The model`s focus on “Under” selections for player points aligns with the expectation that Game 5 could be a lower-scoring affair, as indicated by the betting odds favoring the Under 5.5 goals. The pick for Kyle Connor to register under 1.5 points is notably strong according to the model`s star rating system, reflecting his recent performance trend where he has not exceeded this point total in his last five games when Winnipeg is favored against a team with a winning record. The model specifically projects low point totals for all three players in this upcoming contest.
