Probable Starting Goalies

Jets

Winnipeg did not play last night, so top netminder Stuart Skinner (3-4-3, 3.36 GAA, .887 save %) may get the starting nod, but he was yanked in the loss to the Hurricanes after giving up five goals on 17 shots. Backup Clay Stevenson (1-3-0, 3.61 GAA, .870 save %) relieved Skinner in the last game and allowed two goals on 15 shots.

Canadiens

Montreal also did not play last night. Jacob Fowler (7-1-0, 1.84 GAA, .932 save %) has been in between the pipes for four of the wins in the last five games and ranks sixth in the NHL in GAA. Jakub Dobes (2-2-2, 4.06 GAA, .853 save %) allowed only two goals in his last start but gave up 20 in the four starts before that. Fowler is expected to get the start.

Jets vs. Canadiens Prediction: Canadiens Puck Line -1.5 (+120)

The Jets’ losing streak will end sometime, but not tonight in Montreal. The Canadiens are on a five-game winning streak and have scored five goals in each of their last two games. They will play well on the attack tonight again, facing a reeling Winnipeg team that has been lit up, giving up 23 goals over the last four games.

The Jets may not lose 7-0 again, but I see them losing badly again, so take the Habs and the puck line for better odds.
