The Winnipeg Jets have made a strong start to the season, largely due to the performance of Connor Hellebuyck, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. However, backup goalie Eric Comrie's recent start against the Tampa Bay Lightning resulted in a loss, raising questions about the impact of goaltending on betting lines.

Sportsbook experts emphasize that while a starting goalie can influence odds, their effect is often limited to a small percentage. Factors such as team dynamics and player injuries play a more significant role in line adjustments. As the season progresses, oddsmakers will refine their assessments of goalie performance and its impact on betting outcomes.
