Blues vs. Jets Player Props: Game 5 Odds & NHL Expert Picks for Wednesday, April 30

If the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde act continues, expect the best version of the Winnipeg Jets when they welcome the St. Louis Blues to Canada Life Centre for tonight's Game 5 (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Our Blues vs. Jets player props and NHL picks believe Winnipeg will come out firing after a woeful pair of showings in St. Louis. As such, we're featuring two Jets and a sizzling-hot Pavel Buchnevich.
The Jets, among the Stanley Cup odds front-runners, are the -170 favorites at our best NHL betting sites.

๐จ Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists โญโญโญโญ
Scheifele will only want to remember his Game 3 and 4 performances to use them as motivation for Game 5. After scoring five points in the first two games of the series at home, Scheifele was shut out in St. Louis, finishing with a ghastly minus-5 rating. Compare that to his plus-4 for the opening pair of games.
Scheifele had three assists in Games 1 and 2. While I don't foresee many goals in Game 5, I expect the Jets captain to be the focal point of a high percentage of Winnipeg's dangerous attacks.
DraftKings and bet365 offer the longest odds of our best sports betting sites, where a winning $10 bet will profit $11.
๐ฐ Best odds: +110 via DraftKings
๐จ Pavel Buchnevich Over 0.5 points โญโญโญโญ
Buchnevich has ratcheted his level a notch or two in the postseason. He has seven points in four games, second on the team behind Cam Fowler. The 30-year-old exploded for four points - including a hat trick - in the Blues' 7-2 Game 3 triumph.
Most importantly, Buchnevich was productive in Winnipeg, notching an assist in Games 1 and 2. Nobody aside from Fowler has the hotter hand in this series, and I expect it to continue tonight at Canada Life Centre.
๐ฐ Best odds: -115 via BetMGM
๐จ Neal Pionk Over 1.5 shots โญโญโญโญ
I backed Pionk to get at least two shots in Game 2 but failed as miserably as Scheifele and Kyle Connor in St. Louis. He did, however, hit the Over in Games 3 and 4. The Jets should enjoy a flurried start after such abject outings at Enterprise Center, and Pionk will benefit from the territorial advantage.
Pionk averaged four shots on goal in St Louis and had five shot attempts in Game 1 and three in Game 2. bet365 offers the best price. Their -125 odds imply a 55.56% probability, and a winning $10 bet will profit $8.
