Latest Odds : Winnipeg -125 O/U 5.5

The Winnipeg Jets will be playing for something here no matter the result of the Nashville Predators earlier Saturday game hosting the Chicago Blackhawks. That is because even if the division title is out of reach, the game could still matter for seeding purposes in the Western Conference.

The story for the Arizona Coyotes is much different than that of the Winnipeg Jets. The Arizona Coyotes fell just short of the post-season again this year and it carries with it some sense of disappointment to say the least.

With the Winnipeg Jets having potentially let the Central Division title slip away and the Arizona Coyotes being eliminated from post-season contention, this game could be played with a lack of "normal" defensive intensity so some extra goals are likely to be scored.

The Arizona Coyotes have scored 4 or more goals in 2 of their last 3 games. The Arizona Coyotes also have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last 3 games against the Winnipeg Jets. Part of the reason the Winnipeg Jets faded late this season is they have allowed an average of 4 goals per game their last 6 games.
