Winnipeg looks to take a commanding lead in the series after winning the first two games while holding Edmonton to a single goal. The Jets won Game 2 when Paul Stastny scored at 4:06 of overtime and Connor Hellebuyck had 38 saves for the Winnipeg. Hellebuyck has been nearly perfect in this first-round series with a 0.48 goals-against average and a .986 save percentage while stopping 70 shots. He has allowed only three goals his last four games going back to the regular season. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have been stymied by the Jets, and as long as that continues the Oilers have little chance. Ironically, Edmonton had beaten the Jets six times in a row before the playoffs, but these first two games have restored the Jets' confidence against their division rival. Take the Jets.
