Regis sits this one out, and here is his read
Winnipeg keeps games close because it allows 2.82 goals a game, sixth fewest, but its shooters finish only 9.0%. Tampa Bay outshoots opponents 30.4 to 24.5. The Jets sent Connor Hellebuyck to New Jersey in a trade on Oct. 23, and Stuart Skinner has started eight of their 11 games. Stats here run through Monday's games. Tampa Bay has not played since Saturday, and Winnipeg hosts Florida on Tuesday, a game that is not in these numbers.
I'm not posting a ticket on this game. I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning and kept tonight's real money to the games where my two legs looked strongest; this one finished just outside that group, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 4 PM PT puck drop.
- Kyle Connor has 9 goals, 4 on the power play, and 49 shots. Cole Perfetti has 6 goals.
- Mark Scheifele has 8 points after 103 last season.
- Nikita Kucherov leads Tampa Bay with 14 points after 130 last season. Brandon Hagel has 7 goals on 50 shots, and Jake Guentzel has 7 goals.
- Winnipeg placed Vladislav Namestnikov on injured reserve on Oct. 23, and Nino Niederreiter (upper body) played Sunday after taking a high stick on Oct. 22. Dawson Mercer arrived from New Jersey in the Hellebuyck trade.
- Ten of Tampa Bay's 11 games and nine of Winnipeg's 11 have had five or more goals. Kalshi asks 82 cents for five or more.
