📊 Betting Insight & Prediction
Both teams bring playoff pedigree into this one, but the edge on paper leans to Winnipeg, with home ice and one of the league’s most dependable goaltenders. However, the Blues’ Game 7 track record and Binnington’s clutch stats make the +110 underdog line tough to ignore for value bettors.
Best Bets:
- Blues +1.5 (-210) — Playoff Game 7s are often tight; a one-goal game is highly likely.
- Under 5.5 Goals (-105) — Two top-tier goalies with Game 7 history could make this a low-scoring affair.
- Jordan Binnington Over 28.5 Saves (-110) — Expect a barrage from the Jets’ top line.
Lean: Jets win 3–2 in OT
Value pick: Blues moneyline +110 with a sprinkle on OT finish (+320)
