The Jets were a trendy upset pick against the Golden Knights in Round 1 of the playoffs and after one game that seems to hold some weight.
The Winnipeg Jets were a trendy upset pick against the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 1 of theNot only did Winnipeg skate out of Vegas with a 5-1 win in the series-opener, but the scoreline was a fair reflection of how the game played out.
The Jets outshot Vegas, 24-14, at five-on-five and created 10 high-danger scoring chances compared to just five for the Golden Knights. It was a clinic. What’s most concerning for Vegas is that the Jets have a huge advantage in goaltending with Connor Hellebuyck, so the Golden Knights need to tilt the ice and generate more scoring chances at five-on-five to negate that advantage as much as they can.They fell way short of that on Tuesday and it’s plausible that they struggle to out-chance Winnipeg again in Game 2.
Despite the impressive showing in Game 1 and the fact that they have one of the best goalies in the NHL in their crease, Winnipeg remains a decent underdog for Game 2 and it’s certainly possible the price only gets better as money backs Vegas in a must-win, bounce-back spot.
