Edmonton Oilers @ Winnipeg Jets - April 13, 2025

Alright, folks, gather ‘round and get ready because we’ve got a barnburner on our hands! The Winnipeg Jets are set to face off against the Edmonton Oilers this Sunday at Canada Life Centre. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like game day in our city! With the adrenaline pumping and colors flying high, you know it’s time for some serious hockey action.

The oddsmakers have opened with the Oilers as slight favorites at -101. But if you’ve been following these two teams lately, you’d know that betting against the Jets is like throwing snowballs in a blizzard – not too smart. They’re coming off a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Blackhawks where they showcased their offensive prowess. With an average of 3.4 goals per game and a power play percentage sitting pretty at 29.25%, they can light up the scoreboard faster than you can say “Let’s go Jets!”

On the other side, we have our friends from Edmonton. They’ve also had their fair share of success recently with a solid 4-2 win against the Sharks last time out. However, their record hasn’t been without its bumps; they’ve struggled against the spread recently going just 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Their defensive stats leave something to be desired too — allowing saves at only 89.3% compared to Winnipeg’s impressive 91.4%. You can bet that when push comes to shove, those defensive lapses could come back to bite them!

Now let’s talk about home ice advantage—there’s no place like it! Winnipeg has been playing strong at home with a current streak of three straight wins under their belt. Not only that, but they’ve gone UNDER in eight of their last nine games which is quite telling for how tight these matches have been lately.

So what are my predictions for this clash? I’m calling it: Winnipeg takes home the win tonight! The energy from those devoted fans is going to fuel them through every shift on that ice! As for covering spreads? While I see our Jets snagging that glorious W as underdogs, I do believe the Oilers will manage to cover due to how close this match could be—expecting every point will count.

With all things considered – look for this total to end up UNDER as both teams tighten up defensively after some high-scoring affairs recently. It’ll be a nail-biter until the final buzzer sounds but with my lucky jersey on (you better believe I’m rocking it), there’s no way I’m backing down from my prediction!

Game on! Let’s get ready for an exhilarating night of hockey because Winnipeggers know how to support our boys!
