Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/29/26

The Winnipeg Jets make their 2nd stop on a 4-game road trip at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida on Thursday night. The Jets picked up a 4-3 win in New Jersey on Tuesday as slight underdogs at even-money, as the over (5.5) cashed. Still, the Jets are just 2-2-2 in the past 6 games, while averaging just 2.0 goals per game in that span. Further, the under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 outings. While struggling to score, Winnipeg has also allowed 2 or fewer goals in 3 of the past 5 outings, too. Connor Hellebuyck is slowly starting to round back into his Vezina Trophy form.

The Lightning scored a 2-0 win over the Utah Mammoth as moderate favorites (-150) last time out, bouncing back nicely from an 8-5 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road. That was a game with backup Jonas Johansson. Andrei Vasilevskiy has been on fire in between the pipes, with Tampa Bay going 12-0-1 in his past 13 games. The Tampa Bay defense and goaltenders have been doing a great job lately, allowing 3 or fewer goals in 12 of the past 13 games, with the under going 6-1 in the past 7 outings. Go low, and feel confident in doing so.

Jets vs Lightning prediction: Under 5.5 (+110) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
