🚨 Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Scheifele will only want to remember his Game 3 and 4 performances to use them as motivation for Game 5. After scoring five points in the first two games of the series at home, Scheifele was shut out in St. Louis, finishing with a ghastly minus-5 rating. Compare that to his plus-4 for the opening pair of games.
Scheifele had three assists in Games 1 and 2. While I don't foresee many goals in Game 5, I expect the Jets captain to be the focal point of a high percentage of Winnipeg's dangerous attacks.
DraftKings and bet365 offer the longest odds of our best sports betting sites, where a winning $10 bet will profit $11.
💰 Best odds: +110 via DraftKings
🚨 Pavel Buchnevich Over 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Buchnevich has ratcheted his level a notch or two in the postseason. He has seven points in four games, second on the team behind Cam Fowler. The 30-year-old exploded for four points - including a hat trick - in the Blues' 7-2 Game 3 triumph.
Most importantly, Buchnevich was productive in Winnipeg, notching an assist in Games 1 and 2. Nobody aside from Fowler has the hotter hand in this series, and I expect it to continue tonight at Canada Life Centre.
💰 Best odds: -115 via BetMGM

🚨 Neal Pionk Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I backed Pionk to get at least two shots in Game 2 but failed as miserably as Scheifele and Kyle Connor in St. Louis. He did, however, hit the Over in Games 3 and 4. The Jets should enjoy a flurried start after such abject outings at Enterprise Center, and Pionk will benefit from the territorial advantage.
Pionk averaged four shots on goal in St Louis and had five shot attempts in Game 1 and three in Game 2. bet365 offers the best price. Their -125 odds imply a 55.56% probability, and a winning $10 bet will profit $8.
💰 Best odds: -125 via bet365
