While both the Jets and Hurricanes are running hot, our NHL picks think Connor Hellebuyck gives Winnipeg a notable edge. The Winnipeg Jets conclude an East Coast road trip as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday evening at Lenovo Center.

Friday’s NHL player props include Connor Hellebuyck’s save total, Mikhail Sergachev’s power-play production, and Alex DeBrincat’s goal-scoring streak.

It’s another busy day in the NHL, with nine games on tap for Thursday night. The 2024-25 Stanley Cup Playoffs start on April 20th, so these final 19-21 games for most teams in the league take on much higher stakes.

Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the third consecutive game and had two assists, Kyle Connor added his 33rd goal of the season, and the Winnipeg Jets beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1.
