Wild vs. Jets Preview
On the opposite end of the spectrum, good goaltending has gotten the Minnesota Wild off to a solid start this year. That said, the team is surrendering shots at a high rate.
Entering this matchup, Minnesota ranks 20th in shots on goal allowed per game. The Wild have also struggled to stay out of the penalty box, ranking in the bottom half of the league in penalty minutes taken per game.
Given those two factors, Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor is a good candidate to back in the shots on goal market. Connor has gotten off to a hot start this year, as he is tied for the league lead with six goals through his first five games.
Serving as a primary trigger man on both the first line and the first power play unit, Connor has recorded four or more shots on goal in all but one of his first five games. Given his recent form, there is no reason to believe that his willingness to shoot the puck will decrease anytime soon.
Best Bet: Kyle Connor Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-115 at FanDuel | Play to -120)
