First-place Winnipeg is playing well, especially on defense ranked 11th in penalty killing and sixth in goals allowed. The Jets have been conservative early on, getting shut out in the first period of both games. The goaltending tandem of Ondrej Pavelec (two goals allowed) and Michael Hutchinson (one) has played well in splitting the opening two games. The UNDER is 5-2 in Jets last seven road games. They face a winless New York Islanders team that hasn't gotten anything going on offense, three goals in two games. New York is on a 4-0 run UNDER the total, 4-0 UNDER at home, as well as 9-2-1 UNDER after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. The Islanders are 24th in goals scored and 26th on the power play in the young season. They come off a 4-1 defeat, and the UNDER is 20-8 following a loss of three or more goals, so don't look for much offense. Play this one UNDER the total.
