On April 2nd, Winnipeg Jets face off against the Dallas Stars tonight, Thursday, April 2nd at 8 p.m.

Eastern in Dallas.

The big bet here centers on Gabriel Velarde going over half a point, priced in minus 105.

Dude's on fire right now, leading the Jets' second line with some serious production.

Velarde's notched points in four of his last five games, clicking hard with Cole Perfetti and Adam Lowry.

That line's dominating expected goals at over 62% and churning out chances like clockwork.

Against top defenses, he shows up in 62% of games, including all three prior matchups with Dallas, where he tallied at least once.

Fans are buzzing about Kyle Connor, too, who's lit up the stars in seven straight meetings.

He's sharing power play time with Velarde, and the Jets boast top-shelf defense plus Connor Hellebuck in net, keeping things tight no matter the score.

For a same-game parlay, stack Velarde over half a point, Connor over half a point, and Jets plus 1.5.

Odds sit at Jets plus 145 money line, Stars minus 170, puck line favoring Jets plus 1.5 at minus 1, 170, total over 5.5 and minus 120.

Jets stay competitive in this spot, locked in for a gritty battle down south.
