NHL Hockey Picks | Cappers picks for: 2025-05-04

The Winnipeg Jets come into this matchup as the more complete and dominant team across the board. Offensively, they boast a deeper and more consistent lineup, capable of rolling multiple scoring lines that can wear down opponents. Defensively, they’ve been among the league’s stingiest units, supported by rock-solid goaltending that’s elevated their play night after night. The Jets have only lost seven times on home ice all season, and that impressive record speaks volumes about their confidence and ability to protect home turf.

Special teams also give Winnipeg a clear edge. Their power play has been effective and opportunistic, while the penalty kill has stifled opposing chances consistently. Most notably, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been nothing short of sensational between the pipes, anchoring Winnipeg with Vezina-caliber play throughout the campaign.

As for the Blues, injuries have taken a toll, and facing a red-hot Jets squad in Winnipeg is a tall order. Expect the Jets to control the pace, limit mistakes, and extend their dominance at home with another convincing victory. Take Winnipeg ML
