The Winnipeg Jets take a 2-0 series lead on the road to visit the St. Louis Blues.
The pregame narrative: Cole Perfetti is currently breaking out as one of the Jets’ top forwards. I’m backing the newly minted right winger to find his way on the score sheet. Jordan Kyrou’s shots prop has my attention, too.
Check out my Jets vs. Blues prop picks for Game 3 of this first-round matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Blues vs. Jets prop picks
Best Bet: Perfetti to score 1+ points (+118)
The 23-year-old recorded his first career playoff point on Monday, getting the assist on Kyle Connor’s game-winning goal in the third period.
Perfetti had a career year, scoring 50 points while lacing up for the full 82 games.
However, I want to split his season into two to showcase how good he’s been since late January:
- First 49 games: 25 points
- Last 33 games: 25 points
As the year carried on, Perfetti found his groove, solidifying a solid floor as a point producer.
In response, Scott Arniel promoted the young gun up to the second line to play alongside Nino Niederreiter and Vladislav Namestnikov.
He also finds himself on the top power-play unit with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor. Both of whom finished in the top 17 in the NHL for points.
Key stat: Perfetti has 10 points in 12 career games vs. the Blues.
Quick picks
Kyrou over 2.5 shots (-124): I went with this pick for Game 2, and Kyrou finished one shot shy of this mark.
But that won’t discourage me from jumping back on the wagon based on some solid underlying stats.
- Kyrou led the Blues with 239 shots this season (2.9 per game).
- He reached this total in nine of his past 11 games, including the playoffs.
He was slightly more productive at home, too. His shots per game inflated to 3.1 when playing in St. Louis.
The Jets averaged the fewest goals against this season (2.32) but the 10th fewest shots (27.2).
Thankfully, Kyrou doesn’t have to beat Connor Hellebuyck to cash this wager. Instead, he only has to pepper a few shots on target in a must-win Game 3.
