Tasked with slowing down a Vegas Golden Knights forward group loaded with firepower, my Golden Knights vs. Jets predictions expect him to step in the way of plenty of rubber.

Golden Knights vs Jets prediction
Golden Knights vs Jets best bet: Dylan Samberg Over 1.5 blocked shots (-125)
Dylan Samberg does a lot of the heavy lifting for the Winnipeg Jets‘ defense. He has spent a team-leading 41.2% of his minutes facing elite competition, per PuckIQ.
That usage leads to more time in the defensive zone, filling shooting lanes against high-end offensive players.

Samberg has gotten in the way of at least two pucks in 68% of his games against Top-12 shot-generation teams, such as the Vegas Golden Knights.
His hit rate jumps to 75% on home ice, where Scott Arniel has last change and is better able to get the matchups he wants.
Golden Knights vs Jets same-game parlay
Mark Scheifele has gone three consecutive games without a point, his longest drought of the season. The Golden Knights rank 28th in team save percentage, so this is a spot where positive regression can kick in.
Gabriel Vilardi has picked up at least a point in 60% of his games against Top-16 teams at limiting goals against, and he correlates with Scheifele on the power play. That’s an important factor as the Golden Knights have averaged more than five minutes of short-handed time over their past 10 games.
