Ducks vs. Jets Prediction: Winnipeg Favored, but Key Questions Remain
Analysis updated October 9, 2026 at 7:13 AM CDT
Winnipeg’s 3-0-1 start gives it an early edge over Anaheim, though Josh Morrissey’s status and the lack of confirmed goaltenders weaken the betting case.
Ducks vs. Jets betting preview
Winnipeg enters Friday’s home game at 3-0-1 after beating Colorado 3-2, while Anaheim is 2-1-0 following a 5-2 loss to Edmonton. CBS Sports / Field Level Media reported that Kyle Connor scored twice against Colorado and Cole Perfetti scored for the third consecutive game, giving the Jets the stronger recent form entering the matchup.
Anaheim’s power play can challenge that advantage. The Ducks went 5-for-11 with the extra skater over their previous two games, but they also allowed five second-period goals after taking a two-goal lead against Edmonton. That swing makes Anaheim difficult to trust at +105 despite the appealing underdog price.
Injuries limit the betting case
Fubo News lists Anaheim’s Drew Helleson, Troy Terry and Ian Moore as out. Winnipeg defenseman Josh Morrissey is day-to-day with an upper-body injury after leaving the Colorado game. His uncertain availability matters when the Jets are laying -125 against a productive power play.
Winnipeg is the likelier winner, but the available evidence doesn’t justify paying the favorite’s price. Neither starting goaltender is confirmed, and Morrissey’s status remains unresolved. Pass on the moneyline and puck line rather than turning a narrow matchup edge into a forced wager.
