Jets vs Blues Prediction
The current betting odds have the Blues listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Jets from the Central Division and the 2nd Wild Card seeded Blues for the 1st round of the NHL playoffs. The Jets are leading this series 2-1 after the Blues won game 3 at home. The Blues made it a 2-1 series with a 7-2 win over the Jets in the 3rd game of this series and they finally broke the ice in this series. They came very close to getting a win in Winnipeg, losing the 1st game 5-3 after taking a 3-2 lead into the 3rd period and losing the 2nd game 2-1 in a really tight affair. They finally got themselves into the series with that 7-2 win and they can build on that momentum. The Jets were a great road team this year, but the Blues also looked a lot better on home ice and they showed it in game 3. Now the Blues have some momentum on their side with that win and their offense has also been really good throughout this series. The Jets were the best team in the NHL this season as they finished with the most points and won the Presidents' Trophy, but the Presidents' Trophy winner hasn't had a lot of success in the playoffs in recent years. The Blues may not have been one of the best teams in the West, but they were one of the hottest teams in the NHl to finish the season and they have been going toe-to-toe with the Jets all series. The Blues are going to bring their best effort to even up this series and the momentum is on their side at the moment. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blues to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“It's one game. We lost one game. Whether it's 7-2 or 1-0, we lost one game in this series. We lost the game in the first period. They scored two goals in the first three minutes, got on our heels, crowd got behind them. We were terrible in the first period. Game was over in the first.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s loss against the Blues in game 3 of this series on Thursday.
“I just thought that the attitude we had, we started the other two games really well, and what I liked was the fierce, competitive nature in our attitude for 60 minutes. The start was incredible. We were aggressive, we did the things we wanted to do to make sure that we were going to get more scoring chances, and we did get more scoring chances.” - Jim Montgomery after his team’s win against the Jets in game 3 of this series on Thursday.
