This has been an Under series with the low side cashing seven of the last nine times, including this past Monday with the Jets winning, 4-0. That was a 1-0 game going into the third period. 
Vancouver is determined to end a seven-game home losing streak to Winnipeg. If the Canucks are to succeed they likely will have to do it with a stellar defensive effort. That's because the Canucks are dealing with a cluster injury problem at center with Elias Pettersson and Jay Beagle out and Bo Horvat unlikely to play due to an ankle injury suffered in Monday's loss. Vancouver also is down three forwards because of injuries. That's a lot of missing firepower. 
Fortunately for Vancouver, goalie Thatcher Demko has come up big this season. The Canucks are in good defensive form holding opponents to an average of 2.5 goals in their last 10 games. 
The Jets aren't going to get wild here knowing they have a good situational spot because of Vancouver's injuries. 
Horvat's expected loss is huge. Horvat ranks with Demko, Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller as one of the four most important players on the team. Winnipeg can win this game by picking its spots and not doing anything foolish. So I'm expecting a conservative, smart approach from the Jets just like they did on Monday.
