Jets vs Hurricanes Betting Preview
Winnipeg continues searching for answers. The Jets dropped seven of their last 10 and carry a three-game losing streak into Raleigh. Their struggles begin with scoring depth. Their top trio of Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi combined for 21 points over six games. The rest of the forwards totaled only nine. Their defense contributed little in Wednesday’s 4-3 loss at Washington, producing only three shots on goal.
Their issues compound with Connor Hellebuyck sidelined until at least the holidays. Their goaltending rotation remains unsettled, and their margin for error shrinks without their Hart and Vezina winner.
Carolina faces its own offensive slowdown. The Hurricanes lost three of their last four, including a 4-2 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Their play remains structured, but their finishing rate dipped. They average nearly a goal per game less during their recent skid. They trail New Jersey by one point for the Metropolitan Division lead.
Rod Brind’Amour remains encouraged by his team’s process. Their shifts hold strong, but single mistakes continue costing them in tight games. Their transition remains sharp. Their shot volume stays high. They continue creating chances without closing enough sequences.
