Last place Winnipeg heads out on the road playing some defense, on a 7-3 run UNDER the total. The improved defense has helped them win two in a row and three of five after topping Pittsburgh 1-0 and Detroit 4-1. The key has been the play of 22-year-old rookie goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Hellebuyck logged his first career shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Penguins and he didn't allow a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Red Wings until early in the third period. He improved to 7-3-0 this season while lowering his goals-against average to 2.01. Winnipeg is 9-2 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, plus 8-3 UNDER versus a team with a losing record. The Winnipeg defense matched up well with an Arizona team that they have beaten seven of eight times, including the last meeting, a 3-2 victory in November that sailed UNDER the total. Take this one to finish UNDER.
