What cashed

Cole Perfetti 2+ shots on goal (-210 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Perfetti had 2+ shots in 9 of his last 10 and 8 of 9 games this season, with 4 in his last 5. - What happened: 2 shots on goal in 19:00 (5:37 on the power play), 0.5 over the line. Winnipeg had only 19 shots as a team, so his pair held up on a low-volume night. - Worth watching: His 5:37 of power-play time puts him with the Jets' top group. At -210 the price is steep for a prop that cleared with no shots to spare here.

Kyle Connor 3+ shots on goal (-165 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Connor had 3+ shots in 9 of his last 10 and 8 of 9 games this season, with 4 in his last 5. With Morrissey on IR, Winnipeg's offense leans on him even more. - What happened: 3 shots on goal in 23:02 (5:54 on the power play), 0.5 over the line. One of them was a slap shot from Neal Pionk's pass at 12:38 of the 2nd that put Winnipeg up 2-1. - Worth watching: Over 23 minutes with nearly 6 on the power play is a top-line workload. He got to three on a night Winnipeg was outshot by 19, and that kind of share is why the line stays on our list.

Jets +1.5 puck line (-155 at DraftKings, -172 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Winnipeg had finished within a goal in 8 of its last 10, 4 of its last 5 and 8 of 9 this season. Skinner was expected in net with Hellebuyck on IR, and Oettinger was confirmed for Dallas. - What happened: The Jets lost 3-2 in overtime, a one-goal margin, so the +1.5 covered by 0.5. Skinner faced 38 shots and kept it close enough for the cover. - Worth watching: Winnipeg has kept games tight, and an overtime game always lands inside a goal. The price was -155 or worse, so shop the number before taking it.

How the game played out

The Jets did their damage in a short burst of the 2nd, scoring twice in 1:48 to take a 2-1 lead. Dallas pushed back with 11 shots in the 3rd to Winnipeg's 4, and Hintz finally tied it with two minutes left in regulation. Winnipeg had a power play after a delay-of-game call on Tyler Myers at 18:16 of the 3rd but could not convert, and Hintz ended it early in overtime.

Trends to watch

• Winnipeg's top power-play group logged heavy time: Mark Scheifele 5:56, Connor 5:54, Pionk 5:46, Perfetti 5:37 and Vilardi 5:27. Pionk also played 29:42.
• Skinner saw 12 shots in the 1st, 14 in the 2nd and 11 in the 3rd. That workload is worth tracking for his saves numbers.
• Dallas leaned on two defensemen: Heiskanen played 29:20 with 5 shots on goal, and Thomas Harley played 28:27.
