The set-up: This is a great "situational" play. This is the end of an extremely tough six-game road trip, one which the Canucks have gone 3-2 so far on. Can anyone say letdown spot? With two nights off before a home game against Boston, I absolutely expect the Canucks to get caught "looking ahead." Winnipeg on the other hand will be eager to get back on track here after letting a big lead slip away against Edmonton last time out.

The pick: And take it for what you will, but the Jets are 7-2 in their last nine home games in which they gave up five goals or more in their previous contest. Lay the 1.5 goals and expect a rout.
