Jets vs Blues anytime goalscorer picks



Jets vs Blues goal props for May 2



Winnipeg Jets winger Kyle Connor has the most goals in this series with four and has been consistently generating offense for his team. In 100:51 of ice time thus far, Connor has 27 shot attempts, 12 shots on goal, and 14 scoring chances in five games.

Connor has scored in four of five games in this series and is coming off a three-point night in Game 5. He led the Jets and was tied for the seventh-most goals in the league this season at 41.

The top-line winger is one of the key pieces on the Jets’ top power-play unit as well, and although he hasn’t found the back of the net on the man-advantage yet, there’s no better time than the present.

Cole Perfetti has yet to score a goal in this series, but it isn’t for a lack of trying. The Jets winger has made the most of his 23 shot attempts with a team-leading 19 scoring chances (12 high-danger), and he’s gotten 10 of those shots on net.

Perfetti skates on the second line but is a part of the top power-play unit for Winnipeg. Most of his chances have come at 5-on-5, though.

In fact, Perfetti leads the Jets with 1.36 expected goals on 13 scoring chances in 64:09 at 5-on-5. Connor is second on the team with 0.85 xG.

Perfetti has been banging on the door all series long, with five of his 10 shots on goal coming in the last two games. Take a stab at +310 for him to get on the board.

Brayden Schenn is one of the few players remaining from the St. Louis Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup team. The Blues captain has been through the trials and tribulations and knows what it takes to get it done in the playoffs.

Schenn only has one goal in the series, but it could be argued that he deserves more than that. He leads the Blues with 1.3 expected goals at 5-on-5, including 10 scoring chances (8 high-danger).

The veteran center plays on the second line with Jake Neighbours and Jordan Kyrou, two skilled wingers who can help generate offense. Schenn also centers the second power-play unit for St. Louis.
