Josh Morrissey Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Penguins — March 21 NHL Pick
Josh Morrissey's assists prop is a sharp Under play on Saturday night's Penguins-Jets matchup. The Winnipeg Jets defenseman faces Pittsburgh on March 21, and our model projects Morrissey to stay well under his 0.5-assist line. Here's why the Under is the clear play.
Josh Morrissey Stats & Recent Form
Morrissey has averaged just 0.34 assists per game over his last 10 contests, with multiple stretches of multi-game assist droughts. The 28-year-old defenseman is primarily a defensive anchor for Winnipeg rather than a playmaking threat, ranking outside the team's top offensive contributors on the blue line. His assist total this season reflects limited offensive involvement—he's not a point-driver in the Jets' system, making the 0.5 line a significant overestimate of his expected output.
Matchup Analysis: Pittsburgh vs Winnipeg
The Penguins rank in the middle of the pack defensively but present no special advantage for a depth defenseman's assist opportunities. Winnipeg's power-play and scoring chances typically flow through their elite forwards and top-pairing blueliners, not secondary options like Morrissey. With Pittsburgh's neutral-zone defense relatively sound, Morrissey won't face sustained offensive-zone possession that would inflate his assist chances.
Our Morrissey Assists Prop Pick for March 21
UNDER 0.5 Assists (-162) is our play. Morrissey's role as a shutdown defenseman combined with his sub-0.4 assist average over recent games makes the Under the sharp bet here. The -162 price reflects fair value when you account for his limited offensive involvement. This Josh Morrissey prop prediction lands cleanly on the Under side, and we're backing it with confidence on Kalshi and traditional sportsbooks.
