Columbus Blue Jackets vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The Winnipeg Jets have seen 5 of their 8 losses on the season come in their last 8 games, so there’s reason to consider the road dog. The problem is, the Columbus Blue Jackets don’t win on the road, and they’re going up against a balanced Jets team that’s 9-2-0 on their home ice. The Blue Jackets have also allowed a combined 14 goals in their last 3 games. The Jets have scored a combined 17 goals in the last 3 games against the Blue Jackets. This one has the potential to get ugly, folks. Give me the Jets and the PL for max betting value.
