The Winnipeg Jets travel to St. Louis on Friday seeking to eliminate the Blues in Game 6 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series. The home team has claimed victory in every game of the series thus far, a trend the Blues must continue to force a decisive Game 7 back in Winnipeg on Sunday.
According to consensus odds, the Blues are favored at home with a money line of -121, meaning a $121 bet would win $100. Conversely, the Jets are road underdogs at +101 (a $100 bet wins $101), despite opening the series as favorites. The total goals line is set at 5.5, with the Under favored at -130.
Jets forward Kyle Connor was a prolific scorer this season, nearing the 100-point mark, and he has been effective against the Blues in this series, recording four goals and four assists. Connor`s points prop line of 1.5 is a key element in Friday`s suggested NHL same-game parlay, developed with the assistance of the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NHL game 10,000 times and offers highly-rated prop picks under its `Prop Picks` tab, assigning ratings up to five stars for various player bets. These picks are valuable for constructing winning parlays on different betting platforms, including same-game parlays.
Jets-Blues Game 6 Same-Game Parlay Picks (+469 Payout)
- Kyle Connor: Under 1.5 Total Points (-235) – 5 Stars
- Josh Morrissey: Under 0.5 Total Points (-118) – 4 Stars
- Pavel Buchnevich: Under 0.5 Total Points (+116) – 4 Stars
The model anticipates a low-scoring contest in St. Louis on Friday, with all three prop picks in this parlay being `Under` selections for total points. Kyle Connor is the only player listed with a points prop above 0.5 (set at 1.5), but the model projects him significantly below this number, estimating just 0.4 total points. He has finished under his points prop in four of his last five games. Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey, who finished fourth on the team in scoring during the regular season, has only two points in this series, both assists in Game 1. The model projects him for a mere 0.1 total points, noting he has failed to register a point in his last five road games against winning opponents. For the Blues, Pavel Buchnevich ranks fourth on his team in points this season and has seven points in the series, including a hat trick in Game 3. However, the model recommends the `Under` on his 0.5 prop line, projecting him at 0.3 points. He has also gone `Under` four times in the last five games where the Blues were the favored team.
