The Jets and netminder Connor Hellebuyck look primed to shut down Bruins star David Pastrnak and keep him off the scoresheet
The second and third ranked teams in the league go head to head Monday night with an exciting matchup between the red hot Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins. The Jets have been on a sensational run with a 14-1-2 record in their last 17 games and the league’s best defense and goaltending during that span with a 1.65 goals against per game average. They take on a Bruins team that is also heating up with a 9-1-3 record in their last 13 games and the league’s best offense during that span with a 4.46 goals per game average.
The league’s hottest offense goes against the hottest defense in what should be one of the best matchups this week. If you want to add more excitement to this already-thrilling matchup, here is our best bet for the game that should have you on the edge of your seat.

Pick: David Pastrnak under 1.5 points (-150)
Pastrnak has been on an unbelievable tear with 11 goals and 23 points in his last 14 games. However, this is the kind of game where the Bruins will get lucky if they squeeze in three goals let alone four. They will need effort from the entire team and not just their top line with Pastrnak, Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle which makes me like his under.
It seems like the kind of game where everyone expects the big play from the Bruins top guys but they grind out the game by using their third and fourth line forwards to get the dirty goals past expected starter Connor Hellebuyck, who hasn't given up more than two goals once in his last 21 starts. Pastrnak has also gotten multiple points against the Jets just once in their last five matchups with no points in their last matchup just before this past Christmas.
