Winnipeg has been great on offense

The Jets are having a great season with their offense leading the way, scoring 12 goals in their first three games, including five in their recent win. Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor have scored six goals and five assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has stepped up as well. Morgan Barron and Gabriel Vilardi have combined for two goals and five assists while defensemen Dylan DeMelo and Logan Stanley have added a goal and three assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has been great but the defense has struggled, allowing nine goals in the first three games. Dylan DeMelo and Neal Pionk have led the top two pairings but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to carry the puck into the offensive zone and easily find open shots on the net. Additionally, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has struggled with a .899 save percentage and a 3.54 goals-against average on 69 shots.

Flyers look for defense to carry them

The Flyers are off to a promising start with their offense stepping up and scoring nine goals in the first three games, with five goals in their recent win. Sean Couturier and Bobby Brink have scored four goals and three assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has stepped up as well. Noah Cates, Travis Konecny, and Trevor Zegras have combined for a goal and six assists while defenseman Travis Sanheim has added a goal and two assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has stepped up but the defense has been a surprise early on, allowing only eight goals through three games. Travis Sanheim and Nick Seeler have led the top two pairings while Jamie Drysdale and Adam Ginning have added depth to the unit. The hope is that backup goaltender Samuel Ersson steps up, as he struggled in his previous start, allowing four goals on 39 shots.

Jets vs Flyers Pick

Money Line Pick for Jets vs. Flyers

  • Jets (-140) (4 units)

The Flyers look to step up on their home ice, but the Jets are having a great season and look to take over this game from the first period. The Jets, who have scored 12 goals in their first three games, should pile on the goals with Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with quick passes. The Jets should limit the Flyers' offense with Dylan DeMelo, Neal Pionk, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to make plenty of big saves. The Jets should win the game with a strong performance on the road.

Take the Jets money line as road Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Jets vs Flyers

  • Over 5.5 (5 Units)

Both teams have looked great on offense, and this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the first period. The Flyers, who have scored nine goals in their first three games, should pile on the goals with Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Jets look to build off a game where they scored five goals and run up the score with Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, Gabriel Vilardi, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Dylan DeMelo and Logan Stanley pick apart the Flyers' defense from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.

Take the Over on 5.5 goals.
