The Winnipeg Jets have a chance on Friday to end their opening series with the St. Louis Blues.
The pregame narrative: This first-round matchup has had its fair share of high-scoring games, with the home team winning all five contests. Can the Jets break the trend and clinch things on the road?
Check out my Jets vs. Blues prop picks on Cam Fowler and Kyle Connor for Game 6 of this first-round matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Blues vs. Jets prop picks
Best Bet: Fowler to register a point (-118)
The veteran defenceman played the most productive hockey of his 12-year career after being traded to the Blues earlier this season.
He had 0.71 points per game (36 in 51 games), which is a 58-point pace over the entire 82 games.
For context, Fowler’s career high is 48 points when he took part in every game for the Anaheim Ducks in 2022-23.
He has every opportunity to be successful with St. Louis, skating as part of the top defensive line while quarterbacking the top power play that includes four forwards alongside him.
Fowler followed his first campaign as a member of the Blues with an impactful first-round performance.
Key stat: He is 5-0 against this wager in this series, headlined by a five-point Game 3 effort at home.
Quick picks
Connor anytime goal (+130): I’ve gone to this pick two times in these playoffs, and it’s cashed on both occasions, making this an easy choice to come back to.
Overall, Connor is 4-1 against this line and is coming off a one-goal, two-assist performance in Game 5.
The 28-year-old has his best season as a pro, scoring 41 goals and a career-high 97 points.
He was Winnipeg’s best offensive player, and that hasn’t changed in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
When the games get more important, so do top players. I expect Connor to stand out again on Friday.
Connor leads the Jets in goals (four), points (eight) and shots (12) in this series.
