Winnipeg Jets vs St. Louis Blues Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/17/25

The Winnipeg Jets return to Enterprise Center, where they struggled last season in the first-round of the playoffs. Connor Hellebuyck had an awful time in the road games in that series, but eventually the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Jets were able to prevail in 7 games. The Jets haven’t been nearly as efficient as last season, but they have also been without Hellebuyck — the defending Vezina Trophy, for a good chunk of the season. He has returned to play just 2 games, allowing a total of 4 goals. He suffered a 3-2 loss in overtime against the Ottawa Senators at home last time out on Monday.

The Blues were pounded 5-2 at home on Monday against the Nashville Predators, and they are just 1-3-0 in the past 4 games. Jordan Binnington has really struggled, so backup Joel Hofer has assumed more of a 1A role, as the Blues look for a little consistency in between the pipes. It’s a work in progress, and that’s where the Jets should be able to have a leg up. Hellebuyck is much better, and he hasn’t shown any rust despite missing a month. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Blues, while the Over is also 4-1 in the past 5 outings for the Jets if you’re interested in a Same Game Parlay opportunity. I’ll stick with the Jets as the better play, however.
