Jets vs Flyers 04/27/22 – Pre-game notes and betting odds

By Angus Hout
1 year agoI hope you watched that game between the Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche on Apr. 24. Not only was it the Jets’ first win in four games, but it was also a very entertaining game for all hockey fans. The final score ended up being 4-1 in favour of Winnipeg.
Forward @Kyle Connor became the new record holder for most goals (45) in a single season since relocation, @Connor Hellebuyck secured his 200th career win and @Neal Pionk played his 300th NHL game. It was a big night for the team and individuals alike.
On the betting front, I went 0-for-7 last time out. Not ideal, obviously. Hopefully, the Jets can build off their success against the Philadelphia Flyers and I make smarter bets as this season winds down.
