Jets vs. Golden Knights Prediction Tonight: Best NHL Player Props & Odds for April 3
The Winnipeg Jets must feel like they're perpetually grounded against the Vegas Golden Knights, losing eight successive regular-season meetings. Tonight's clash at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+) presents another opportunity for the flightless Jets to exorcise their Sin City demons.
Their task is made more difficult considering the Golden Knights have won eight of the last 10 on home ice. However, our Jets vs. Golden Knights prediction and player props expect Winnipeg to depart Vegas with a rare win.

🎯 Jets vs. Golden Knights score prediction: Jets 3, Golden Knights 2
No team has dominated the Jets like the Golden Knights. Eight straight wins in the last three seasons is as comprehensive as it gets. It's hard to imagine a team of the Jets' elite quality unable to get this monkey off their back.
The good news is that signs point to this season's Jets finally conquering their recurring Sin City nightmare.
Both previous meetings were decided by one goal, with December's 3-2 loss in Winnipeg coming in dramatic and devastating fashion. The Jets had a 2-1 lead late in the third period, only to be undone by Victor Olofsson's equalizer with less than two minutes remaining. Ivan Barbashev provided the overtime dagger.
Thursday's opponents are among the Stanley Cup odds favorites, which is unsurprising if you've seen how both teams play. There's almost nothing to separate them in terms of quality, which was also evident in their first two head-to-head meetings.
Based on that parity, I have faith that Winnipeg will secure an overdue win. As the Western Conference juggernauts prepare for what's to come, I expect the game to transpire like a playoff dress rehearsal.
That should keep things tight, with Winnipeg playing to its defensive strengths and leaving the rest up to Hart Trophy odds contender Connor Hellebuyck.
Hellebuyck was clutch when I backed the Jets to beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 in Winnipeg recently, and I expect another top-shelf performance. The Dallas Stars putting pressure on the Jets atop the Central Division should further incentivize the visitors.
Best bet: Jets ML (+105 via DraftKings)
💰 Best Jets vs. Golden Knights player prop bet odds & expert picks: April 3
Here are my best Jets vs. Golden Knights player prop bet odds and expert picks for tonight's NHL matchup. You can also check out our NHL player prop odds tool for the latest NHL odds at the best legal sportsbooks in your region.
🏒 Best Kyle Connor prop pick: Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -135 via DraftKings ($10 to win $7.41)
Connor hasn't been a prolific shooter recently, hitting the Over once in the previous four encounters. So, there's that. However, Connor ups the ante on the road, where he has fired at least three shots on goal in six of the last nine tilts, averaging 3.8. In two games thus far against Vegas, he's mustered just one shot.
It was a different story in the two seasons prior, with Connor amassing 28 shots over six head-to-heads. I'm banking on a fired-up Connor rekindling his shoot-first mentality.

🏒 Mark Stone prop pick: Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +195 via FanDuel ($10 to win $19.50)
Ordinarily, Stone isn't known for being a shoot-on-first-sight player, which is why FanDuel offers such an appealing price. Their +195 odds are the best of our top NHL betting sites, which implies a 33.90% probability.
If you're just looking at his recent run of six Overs in the last seven games, that implied probability should be much higher. That's why I'm backing Stone, who will also feel more pressure to shoot in Tomas Hertl's absence.
📊 Best Mark Stone prop bet odds
🏒 Best Nikolaj Ehlers prop pick: Over 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -135 via BetMGM ($10 to win $10.20)
Terms and conditions apply.
Ehlers is on a run of scoring a point in six of the previous seven games, with Tuesday's outing in Los Angeles the exception. He was held without a point for the first time since March 16. Ehlers has four points in the previous three meetings against the Golden Knights, including notching a helper in both head-to-heads this season.
