The Jets are 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win and 11-3 in their last 14 games as a favorite. The Canucks are 7-1 in their last 8 Wednesday games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The over is 8-2-1 in Jets last 11 overall. The under is 15-5-2 in Canucks last 22 overall. The Jets are 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Vancouver and 19-7 in the last 26 meetings.
The Vancouver Canucks are playing solid enough to deserve a look in the underdog role, but the Winnipeg Jets are playing the more consistent hockey right now and have owned the Canucks this season. The Jets have won four of the six meetings this season against the Canucks, including outscoring them 9-2 in the last two meetings. The Jets have been nothing but money I the favorite role this season. I'll lay the cheap price with the Jets.
