Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/24/26

The Detroit Red Wings close out their 3-game road trip on Saturday with a visit to the Canada Life Centre to play the Winnipeg Jets. These teams met back on New Year’s Eve in Detroit, with the Red Wings prevailing by a score of 2-1. It wouldn’t be surprising to see another low-scoring affair in this meeting. After finishing 4th in the NHL scoring 3.35 goals per game last season, the Jets rank 21st scoring just 2.94 goals per game so far this season. Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele are still producing at over a point-per-game pace, but Winnipeg hasn’t seen the depth scoring they need. It’s clear that the loss of Nikolaj Ehlers is leaving a mark in this Winnipeg offense. Detroit goaltender John Gibson is on an absolute tear right now, having won 7 straight starts and allowing just 13 total goals in that span. Goals could be hard to come by for the Jets.

The Red Wings have been a streak offense this season, and scoring goals on the road has proven to be a challenge. Detroit ranks 22nd scoring 2.88 goals per game on the road, and Connor Hellebuyck provides a tough challenge for Dylan Larkin and company. Hellebuyck isn’t having his best season, but he still owns a respectable 2.65 goals-against average and .903 save percentage. He’s found a groove lately, as he’s allowed just 2 total goals over his last 2 starts. All in all, getting to 7 total goals may prove to be tricky in this matchup. With a total of 6, look to the under.
