- Winnipeg has won seven games in a row coming into their regular season finale.
The Vancouver Canucks play against the Winnipeg Jets on April 18, 2024, at 8:00 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Canucks as +114 underdogs and the Jets as -135 favorites. Early betting trends show 15% of moneyline bets on the Canucks and 85% on the Jets. The total line is set at 5.5 with balanced betting between the over and under. Don't miss this exciting matchup between two competitive teams vying for a win on the ice.
The playoff seeding for both of these teams is set in stone going into the final night of the regular season. Vancouver has finished atop the Pacific Division, while the Jets are locked into second place in the Central Division. But this game does have some significance, as a regulation win for the Jets would put them ahead of the Canucks on points for the season. That could matter when it comes to home ice advantage should these teams meet in the postseason.
We will take the Jets to win this matchup at home over the Canucks, with the defense of the Jets being a huge reason why. Winnipeg is the only team in the NHL that has given up fewer than 200 goals as a team so far this year. They are simply a frustrating team to play against as currently constructed. And we expect them to frustrate Vancouver here in a game that won't matter early in the playoffs, but could be significant later on.
