Arena: Canada Life Centre
Winnipeg can continue their hunt for a wild card spot by accounting for ailing Arizona at Canada Life Centre.
The Jets have won seven of their last 10 matches to move into contention for a playoffs berth and are playing with a hunger and determination that makes anything seem possible.
We’re taking 2.2 for a home win and over 5.5 goals in the game in our Winnipeg Jets vs Arizona Coyotes predictions.

Winnipeg were given a tough work-out by Columbus on Friday but eventually pulled through for a 4-3 overtime triumph.
The Blue Jackets levelled things up at 19:46 in the third period, only for Nikol Ehlers to land the deciding blow 21 seconds after the restart.
“I liked our response,” declared coach Dave Lowry. “I thought that we played a real solid game. We had a purpose – and it showed.”
Kyle Connor scored his 41st goal of the season, Zach Sanford had an assist in his third game since being snapped up from Ottawa and Adam Lowry made a solid return from Covid.
The Jets are 67-60 up in terms of second-period goals this season, whereas Arizona are 52-83 down in the same section.
Looking at the NHL odds for this match, 1.95 for Winnipeg to win the middle section makes sense.
Arizona are in danger of picking up this season’s wooden spoon after falling to the bottom of the overall league table due to four straight defeats.
The Coyotes completed a hat-trick of 4-2 losses when beaten at Calgary on Friday, but coach Andre Tourigny was at least content with the spirit shown.
“The way we battled and the pride our players showed and the competitiveness throughout 60 minutes, I’m proud of them,” stated Tourigny.
“I’m happy about the way we played. I think the other side, they needed to raise their game after the first period to beat us and they did.
“Credit to them. They’re a good team. I have no problem with the way we played.”
Michael Carcone and Vladislav Kolyachonok both scored in the NHL for the first time against the Flames and Arizona are clearly in rebuilding mode.
However, it is worth noting that they have only failed to score more than one goal twice in their last 20 outings.
Let’s finish off our NHL predictions by taking 2.85 for a home win in regular time and both teams to net at least twice, plus 16.5 for the Coyotes to go down 4-2 yet again.
