<p>Friday&#8217;s game against the Florida Panthers was a mess from the jump. The Winnipeg Jets allowed six goals on 42 shots against, which saw both @Connor Hellebuyck and @Eric Comrie spending time in goal.</p>
<p>There was one positive, though, forward @Nikolaj Ehlers reached the 50-point mark by scoring his 26th goal of the season. Unfortunately, it was the only goal his team scored.</p>
<p>On the betting front, it was a disastrous night for me as I went 2-for-7 on the night. Let&#8217;s hope we can all bounce back Saturday versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.</p>
<h2><b>What You Need to Know About the Jets</b></h2>
<p>The Winnipeg Jets enter this contest with a 35-29-11 record and sit 19th overall in the NHL with 81 points.</p>
<p>Considering Hellebuyck was pulled from Friday&#8217;s game after the second period, it&#8217;s possible he receives the nod for a second straight game. Still, it&#8217;s also possible Comrie returns for the second half of this back-to-back series. The situation remains very fluid ahead of puck drop.</p>
<p>Michigan native @Kyle Connor leads the Jets in scoring with 42 goals and 87 points. Centre @Pierre-Luc Dubois leads the team in power-play goals (14).</p>
<p>Winnipeg will be without @Mark Scheifele (upper body), @Cole Perfetti (upper body) and @Logan Stanley (undisclosed).</p>
<p>The last time the Jets and Lightning faced each other was on Mar. 8, when Winnipeg secured a 7-4 victory. Over the past 10 meetings between these two franchises, the Jets have performed to a 5-3-2 record.</p>
<h2><b>What You Need to Know About the Lightning </b></h2>
<p>The Lightning are having yet another successful season and appear to be threatening a three-peat. So far, they&#8217;re 45-21-8 and sit third in the Atlantic Division. They&#8217;ve locked up a playoff spot and will most likely face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round.</p>
<p>Back-up @Brian Elliott is expected to start versus the Jets on Saturday. This season, the 37-year-old is rolling with a 9-3-3 record, a 2.23 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage.</p>
<p>Unlike Winnipeg, Tampa Bay&#8217;s roster is fully healthy and enters this contest with a clean injury report.</p>
<p>Captain @Steven Stamkos leads the team in goals (32), assists (50) and points (82). Additionally, Stamkos is averaging 1.12 points per game in 2021-22.</p>
<h2><b>Betting on Saturday’s Game</b></h2>
<p>I’m betting with<a href="http://pointsbet.com/"> PointsBet</a> and so should you!</p>
<p><b>Money Line: </b>Lightning win at +200.</p>
<p><b>Easy Money:</b> Stamkos scores two or more points at +160.</p>
<p><b>Over/Under: </b>Under 5.5 total goals scored at +115.</p>
<p><b>Good Return: </b>@Paul Stastny scores anytime at +325.</p>
<p><b>Prop Bet: </b>Lightning score in every period at +155.</p>
<p><b>Parlay: </b>Los Angeles Kings ML, Dallas Stars ML and Philadelphia Flyers ML at +383.</p>
<p>Good luck and happy betting.</p>
