What cashed

Alex Killorn under 0.5 points (-160 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Killorn had a point in 26 of 82 games last season and had 1 point in 3 games this year on about 14 minutes a night. - What happened: Killorn finished with 0 points and 1 shot on goal in 18:42, with no power-play time. Anaheim scored five times and none of the goals ran through him. - Worth watching: His minutes went up to 18:42 here, but with zero power-play time the scoring path stays narrow. The power-play role matters more than total minutes for this under.

Jackson LaCombe 1+ points (-140 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: LaCombe was playing 29 minutes a night with 3 assists in 3 games, and he had a point in 49 of 82 games last season. - What happened: LaCombe picked up the second assist on Granlund's goal at 14:06 of the 3rd, which made it 4-1. He played 27:02, including 1:57 on the power play, and finished plus-3. - Worth watching: A defenseman logging 27 minutes and touching the power play gets plenty of chances to land on the score sheet. The usage is the case here, and it held. A longer shot that landed.

Cole Perfetti under 2.5 shots on goal (-130 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Perfetti went over 2.5 shots in only 22 of 68 games last season. His shot counts this year were 2, 4, 2 and 4. - What happened: Perfetti finished with 0 shots on goal in 22:20, including 5:39 on the power play, 2.5 under the line. Winnipeg managed only 16 shots as a team. - Worth watching: His shot counts had been bouncing between 2 and 4, so this line sits near the middle of his range. The low team volume helped here; check the matchup before playing it again. Another longer shot that landed.

Neal Pionk under 0.5 points (-105 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Pionk had 12 points in 51 games last season and had 1 point in 4 games this year. - What happened: Pionk finished with 0 points and 0 shots on goal in 25:02. He played 5:59 on the power play, but Winnipeg did not score on any of its four chances. - Worth watching: That power-play time is the risk. With nearly six minutes of it, one power-play goal could have put him on the sheet. If that role sticks, check it before playing this under again. A longer shot that landed.

How the game played out

Anaheim led 3-0 before Winnipeg scored, and the Jets never got closer than two. Winnipeg's four power plays were the best chance to change the game, and they produced nothing. Anaheim scored four even-strength goals plus the empty-netter.

Trends to watch

• Winnipeg had 16 shots and 26 giveaways. Low volume from the Jets helps opposing goalie saves unders and their own skaters' shot unders.
• Perfetti and Pionk both got more than five minutes of power-play time. Watch that role when pricing points or shots for either player.
• LaCombe played 27:02. That workload is the backbone of his point line.
