What cashed
Cole Perfetti 2+ shots on goal (-190 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Perfetti had 2+ shots in 13 of 14 games this season, 9 of his last 10 and 5 straight, with 40 shots on goal in 14 games while playing in Winnipeg's top six. - What happened: 0 G, 0 A, 3 SOG in 15:34 (3:20 on the power play). His second shot came at 11:25 of the 2nd, and he added one more in the 3rd to finish 1.5 over the line. - Worth watching: The volume held even in a game where Winnipeg never scored. The price is steep at -190, so the angle is about his steady shot rate, not value.
Logan Stankoven 3+ shots on goal (-110 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Stankoven led Carolina with 46 shots in 15 games (3.1 per game) and had 3+ in 7 of his last 10. We liked that near even money against a 67% season hit rate. At 64 confidence, this was a longer shot that landed. - What happened: 1 G, 2 A, 3 SOG in 13:26 (1:47 on the power play), a 3-point day. His third shot was his goal at 9:09 of the 2nd, which made it 5-0 and cleared the line by 0.5. He also set up Juuso Valimaki at 1:55 of the 2nd and Mark Jankowski's power-play goal at 6:53 of the 3rd. - Worth watching: He got to three shots in only 13:26 of ice time. When the price sits near even money, his shot rate is worth a look.
ALT: Gabriel Vilardi 2+ shots on goal (-106 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Vilardi cleared 2+ shots on goal in 7 of his last 10 games and 12 of his last 20. The best price of -106 (51% implied) sat under the roughly 63% rate from recent games. At 63 confidence, this was a longer shot that landed. - What happened: 0 G, 0 A, 2 SOG in 16:57 (3:25 on the power play). Both shots came late in the 2nd, at 15:38 and 16:01, and he cleared the line by 0.5. - Worth watching: He was on the ice for 3:25 of power-play time. The edge here was price, so it is worth checking again only when the number stays near even money.
ALT: Neal Pionk 2+ shots on goal (+116 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Pionk cleared 2+ shots on goal in 7 of his last 10 games and 12 of his last 20. The best price of +116 (46% implied) sat well under the roughly 63% rate from recent games. At 63 confidence, this was a longer shot that landed. - What happened: 0 G, 0 A, 4 SOG in a team-high 22:55, including 3:23 on the power play. He had three shots in the 2nd, the second at 15:15, and added one in the 3rd to finish 2.5 over the line. - Worth watching: A defenseman with big minutes and power-play time at plus money is the kind of price we look for. His workload is the part to keep tracking.
How the game played out
The 1st was all Carolina, with a 10-3 shot edge and Walker's shorthanded goal. The 2nd decided it. Valimaki scored at 1:55, Sebastian Aho added a power-play goal 24 seconds later, Walker scored his second at 7:41, and Stankoven made it 5-0 at 9:09, which ended Skinner's day. Winnipeg outshot Carolina 14-10 in that period, but Kochetkov stopped everything. Jankowski and Jesperi Kotkaniemi added goals 105 seconds apart in the 3rd.
Trends to watch
- Winnipeg's power-play group drove its shot volume. Perfetti, Vilardi and Pionk each logged more than three minutes on the power play, and Pionk and Vilardi had three shots between them during the power play that started at 13:54 of the 2nd.
- Kochetkov saw 26 shots and 14 of them came in the 2nd. Winnipeg kept shooting even while trailing big, which is worth knowing for Jets shot props in games that get away from them.
- Carolina's special teams did the damage: two power-play goals on five chances plus a shorthanded goal, while Winnipeg went without a goal on three power plays.
