THE PLAY: Total Over 5.5 (-125)
Stars/Jets - Total Over 5.5 (-125)
Game 1 of the second-round series between the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars is set to be a high-scoring affair, continuing the trend observed throughout the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The first round averaged 6.5 goals per game, marking the second-highest scoring rate in the modern era.
Both teams are entering this matchup following thrilling Game 7 victories. The Jets, in particular, showcased resilience by scoring with just 1.6 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Despite their success, neither team has fully tapped into their offensive potential. The Stars are expected to benefit from the return of sniper Jason Robertson, adding depth to their already potent lineup.
Historically, Game 1s in the NHL playoffs tend to be higher scoring, and this trend is likely to continue.
With both teams coming off emotionally charged series and having had some time off, there's a tendency to see a dip in defensive intensity, leading to more open play and scoring opportunities. While both teams boast solid goaltenders, the combination of offensive firepower and historical trends suggests that tonight's game will be another high-scoring encounter.
Expect the Game 1 trend of fast-paced, high-scoring games to continue tonight in Winnipeg.

Consultant Bio
Andrew joined SportsMemo as a sports handicapper, and a few short years later, he found a new home here at WagerTalk. His experience in the sports world, a sports journalism background and his ability to break down games, read lines, and team trends all set Andrew up to be a successful sports bettor.
McInnis is well known for his 15-0 NHL run in 2021, and his 8-0 start to the CFL season in 2019. Being north of the border, Andrew specializes in the NHL and CFL, along with handicapping the MLB, UFC and NFL.
Covering local amateur pro hockey teams and college events, doing interviews, videography work and statistics helped Andrew understand the numbers that go into sports that not many people get to see. Andrew spends countless hours reading media reports, player scouting reports and team previews on each sport he handicaps. He is very strict with familiarizing himself the performance both long term and short term.
Over the years, Andrew has been featured on SportsbookReview.com, Halifax's NEWS 95.7, Sirius XM Channel 159 Sports Grid Radio, Bet MGM Tonight, and VSIN Sports Network. Being north of the border, Andrew feels he has the most significant advantage in the CFL and NHL as he has numerous outlets and connections to hear the breaking news and team information.
Andrew is always available for his clients and encourages anyone with questions to reach out on twitter @McInnisPicks.
