Reasons the Blues Could Win
Despite a quiet night for Jordan Kyrou, the Blues managed to secure victories through other means. Cam Fowler, a catalyst in Game 3 with five points, added another goal to their tally. With scoring from multiple sources, the Blues look confident, even without Kyrou's contributions.
In goal, Jordan Binnington held his nerve, making 21 saves while conceding only two goals. Defensively, they went 4 for 6 on the penalty kill, laid out 36 hits, and blocked 15 shots.
For the Blues to win and cover the spread, they'll need Kyrou to step up his game, while their secondary scoring options continue to shine. Defensively, they must protect their goal and not allow easy chances.
Reasons the Jets Could Win
Star player Mark Scheifele missed Game 6, and his availability for Game 7 is uncertain. The Jets struggled to generate offense in his absence. Kyle Connor assisted, but more is needed from him. The Jets managed only two power-play goals and had difficulty scoring even-strength goals, converting only 48 percent of their faceoffs.
Connor Hellebuyck's performance has been shaky so far, raising questions about his Vezina-worthy form. His defense hasn't offered significant help, allowing five even-strength goals and six penalties in Game 6. While they killed off six penalties, their defense needs to improve to help Hellebuyck shine.
For the Jets to cover the spread and win, Connor needs to step up, scoring goals and creating chances. The team must also generate strong offensive plays and maintain better defensive form.
Final Prediction & Pick
The home team has won every game in this series so far. Will it continue? While the Blues look impressive at home, they've been vulnerable on the road, particularly in Winnipeg. With the Jets' home advantage and the crowd's energy, they seem ready to pull off another "white out" and secure a victory.
