The Winnipeg Jets are off to a 3-1-0 start and just took two from the Ottawa Senators in Ottawa. Tonight the two teams will meet again but the venue will switch to Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg. The Jets have had the Senators number, winning 4 straight and 8 of the last 10 meetings. If that’s not dominance, what is? Winnipeg will have the edge in goaltending tonight. Connor Hellebuyck is expected between the pipes for the Jets and as always, he has been spectacular, posting a GAA of only 2 with a .935 SV%. The 1-2-1 Senators are expected to counter with Matt Murray, who has a 3.79 GAA and a 0.88 SV%. I like the Jets in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The Niagara Purple Eagles will take a shaky 2-6 road record to Hamden Connecticut today for a matchup with the Quinnipiac Bobcats. On the road, the Purple Eagles are averaging 58.6 points per game and allowing an average of 64.3. On the flip side, the Bobcats have been tough at home where they are 3-1, averaging 68.5 points per game and allowing an average of 62. Consider the home team in this one.

Thursday NHL Pick
The reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, will be on the road tonight for a matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Lightning are once again looking like the best team in hockey, which they are, after downing the Chicago Blackhawks in their first two games of the 2021 campaign by a combined score of 10-3. Tortorella’s team has not looked sharp thus far, with a record of 1-2-1, and will have their hands full with the Bolts. Tampa is 5-1 in their last 6 with the Jackets overall and 9-3 in their last 12 trips to Columbus.
