On Thursday night, the undefeated Winnipeg Jets take on the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena. Winnipeg has roared into the season with an incredible 6-0-0 record, as such BET99 has made them road favorites with -125 odds to win tonight.
While the Jets offense has come alive with 17 goals in their last three games, I believe we see a claimer affair tonight with the total going UNDER 5.5 goals at +100 odds.
Odds Shark's NHL team prepared a three-leg +525 parlay at BET99 read up on the parlay below.

Jets vs Kraken Picks Tonight
UNDER 5.5 Goals (+100)
Scoring is a specialty of late for the Winnipeg Jets with those previously mentioned 17 goals in their last three games. But, 14 of those goals came against the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins, two teams poised to have a bad season. Beating up on bad teams isn't a sign of sustainable offense.
Last year, Winnipeg averaged 3.14 goals per game, dab-smack in the middle of the league's goal-scoring table. The Jets aren't an offensively elite club even if they currently have six players averaging a point or more per game. I don't trust the Jets offense to score at will tonight.
Defenseman Josh Morrissey is one of those Jets players scoring over a point per game with seven points in six games, you can get OVER 0.5 points for Morrissey at -145 odds from BET99.
Seattle's forwards will have a difficult time scoring thanks to Winnipeg's fourth-lowest goals against per game at 2.72 since 2021-22 as well as facing the Jets defending Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck, who's averaging an exceptional 0.948SV% and 1.40GAA.
The Kraken are also a good defensive team this season with the 11th-lowest goals against per game (2.82) and the seventh-lowest xGA/60 (2.71). Seattle has been excellent at stifling shots toward their net with the sixth-lowest shots against per game at 27.34. With that in mind, may I suggest fading Kyle Connor's shot prop by taking UNDER 3.5 shots for -150 odds at BET99?
With two solid defensive teams and a Winnipeg side that's punching above its weight offensively, everything lines up for the UNDER to hit tonight.
Jets vs Kraken Same-Game Parlay
The Jets are 7-2SU against the Kraken all time, I'm not about to go against that trend with Winnipeg rolling into town with a six-game win streak in tow. Winnipeg's win streak has been impressive with the Jets netting 73% of the goals. I see no other outcome than a Winnipeg win.
I've made my case for the UNDER hitting tonight pretty clear. But the Coles notes are: both teams are good defensively and I don't trust Winnipeg's offense to continue being elite.
Montour's 28 shots on goal are the second-most for defensemen in the NHL, he also hasn't gone below three shots in a game once this season. This coincides nicely with the fact that Winnipeg allows the 10th-most shots by defensemen at 9.17 per game. Montour should easily hit his shot prop tonight.
Jets vs Kraken Player Prop Tonight
Nikolaj Ehlers O0.5 Points (-135)
The Danish forward is on fire with a three-game point streak and scoring six points. Last year against the Kraken he averaged a point per game with three in three games. Per Outlier, Ehlers has scored OVER 0.5 points in five of his last six road games.
Ehlers might be averaging a career-low 15:11 of ice time but is responding well to his assignment with eight points in six games. Sometimes less is more for certain players. With a clear understanding of his role in the offense, the fact that he's in the form of his life, and with recent success against this opponent I like the value in Ehlers to score at least one point tonight at -135 from BET99.
