The Winnipeg Jets look to secure a 2-0 series lead over the St. Louis Blues when they meet on Monday night at Canada Life Centre.
The pregame narrative: The Jets can build off a comeback win at home and take hold of this series in the process. In the prop market, I’m targeting Josh Morrissey and Jordan Kyrou in Game 2.
Check out my Blues vs. Jets prop picks for Game 2 of this first-round matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Blues vs. Jets prop picks
Best Bet: Morrissey to score 1+ points (-130)
Morrissey finished the season getting on the score sheet in four straight games (six points total).
He followed that up with a two-assist performance in Game 1 win over the Blues.
Morrissey led all Winnipeg skaters in ice time (23:51), which is typical for the Canadian defenceman.
I like his chances of contributing to the score sheet when he’s on the ice as much as he is. On top of that, he’s one of the best offensive blue-liners in the NHL.
Morrissey finished eighth among defencemen in points during the regular season (62).
St. Louis killed penalties at a lousy 74.2% rate (tied for sixth worst). That can be detrimental in the playoffs, and Morrissey already has one power-play point in this series.
Key stat: He is 3-1 against this line vs. the Blues this year.
Quick picks
Kyrou over 2.5 shots (-118): The Blues only had 17 shots on net in Game 1, but the good news is Kyrou had four of those.
He’s cleared this line in 13 of the past 18 games and led the Blues this year with 239 shots (2.9 per game).
The Jets are a great defensive team, allowing the fewest goals per game (2.32), but they did tie for the 10th-most shots allowed per game (27.2). That makes St. Louis’ 17-shot total from Saturday look like an anomaly.
It can’t get any worse, right? If the Blues do record more shots on Monday, expect Kyrou to continue leading the charge.
