Defenseman Joe Morrow broke a tie with 6:13 left to give Winnipeg its first playoff win in franchise history on Wednesday. The Jets outshot Minnesota 40-20, but Devan Dubnyk had 37 saves for the Wild and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 18 shots for the Jets, who now have won six in a row while averaging 3.8 goals per game. The OVER is 7-1 the last eight meetings at Winnipeg and the Jets have gone OVER five of their last seven versus an opponent that scored two or fewer goals its last game. The Wild already had a tough chore slowing down the Jets' offense and it's made worse with the absence of defenseman Ryan Suter, who is out with a leg injury. Now that Winnipeg has a win under its belt, the offense can put more pressure on the Wild's shaky defense here on the Jets' home ice. Play the OVER.
