Canucks vs Jets Prediction and Picks
Vancouver Canucks vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction and Pick - ExpertPicks
Two struggling teams meet in Winnipeg, and the best bets are on the players still producing through the losing.
The Vancouver Canucks bring a three-game losing streak to Canada Life Centre, and the value in this Canucks vs Jets prediction sits with the players against a Winnipeg Jets team that needed a late rally to end a five-game skid, with puck drop at 7 p.m. ET.
Neither the side nor the total clears my bar tonight, so I'm going straight to the props.
Brock Boeser has a point in eight of his last 10 games and 11 of 17 overall. Winnipeg have killed only 12 of 22 penalties over their last five, and Boeser's two power-play goals show where he does his damage.
Cole Perfetti has three or more shots on goal in seven of his last 10, including six on Tuesday in Montreal. Vancouver have given up 30 or more shots in six of their last 10 games, so the volume should be there again.
Filip Hronek plays almost 26 minutes a night on the Vancouver blue line, and he has an assist in four of his last five games. At +120 I'll take him to set one up against a leaky Jets defence.
Key Stats and Trends
- Winnipeg have allowed 58 goals in 16 games.
- Perfetti has 49 shots on goal in 16 games.
- Hronek has 11 assists, the second most on the Canucks.
- Boeser has five goals and nine assists.
Head to Head
Winnipeg swept the 2025-26 season series 3-0, with two of those wins coming in overtime. Tonight is the first meeting this season.
The last meeting was March 7, 2026, at Canada Life Centre, a 3-2 Jets win in overtime. Vancouver led 2-1 early in the third, but Gabriel Vilardi tied it on the power play and Josh Morrissey won it 1.49 into overtime.
Canucks Form
Vancouver are 1-8-1 in their last 10, and the goaltending is the biggest problem. Kevin Lankinen has an .808 save percentage and Leevi Meriläinen is at .897, and the Canucks have given up 42 goals in that run.
Saturday's 4-2 loss to Toronto stayed close until Teddy Blueger's empty-netter, with Boeser scoring on the power play. On Tuesday, Anaheim went 3 for 3 on the power play and Cutter Gauthier scored three times, and Jake DeBrusk's two late goals only cut it to 5-4.
Tom Willander is day to day with a lower-body injury after missing Tuesday's game, per ESPN, which leaves more minutes for Hronek on the right side. Filip Chytil has missed two straight with an upper-body injury, and Meriläinen is expected to start after Lankinen gave up five on Tuesday.
Jets Form
Winnipeg are 1-7-2 in their last 10, and the power play is the reason they can't score. It's 3 for 31 in that span, and Kyle Connor has 13 of the team's 39 goals this season.
Sunday in Carolina was a 7-0 loss in which Pyotr Kochetkov stopped all 26 shots. In Montreal on Tuesday, the Jets trailed 4-0 with 2.39 left before Tyrel Bauer, Morgan Barron and Connor twice scored in just over two minutes, and Dylan Samberg won it in overtime.
Josh Morrissey and Vladislav Namestnikov are still out, according to ESPN's injury report, but there's nothing new for Winnipeg. Stuart Skinner is expected to start after the comeback win in Montreal.
Verdict
Both defences are leaking, so my Canucks vs Jets picks back the players who keep showing up, with Boeser on the scoresheet, Perfetti shooting and Hronek setting one up.
