Josh Morrissey Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Blues (March 15)
Josh Morrissey's assists prop is a lean Under on tonight's NHL slate. The Winnipeg Jets defenseman takes on the St. Louis Blues on March 15, and our model projects Morrissey to fall short of 0.5 assists despite his regular role on the blue line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Josh Morrissey Stats & Recent Form
Morrissey has been a steady contributor for the Jets this season, but his assist totals remain modest. Over his last five games, the 28-year-old defenseman has averaged 0.4 assists per contest, with multiple shutout games mixed in. While he logs heavy minutes and plays on the first pair, Morrissey's primary function is defensive anchoring rather than offensive generation. His career assist rate sits around 0.45 per game, making the 0.5 line a slight overestimate of his playmaking output.
Matchup Analysis: Winnipeg Jets vs St. Louis Blues
The Blues rank middle-of-the-pack defensively, which doesn't necessarily create more offensive opportunities for Winnipeg's back line. Morrissey isn't typically deployed on the power play in high-leverage situations, limiting his assist ceiling. Additionally, the Jets' offensive gameplan leans on their top forwards to drive play, reducing secondary assist opportunities from the D-men. Vegas pricing this at -135 Under reflects sharps recognizing Morrissey's limited assist floor.
