Calgary Flames vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup after losing two of their last three games, but they will be at home for this game. The Jets are 19-5-3 at home this year, while the Flames are 8-10-4 on the road. Calgary will be on a back-to-back for this game and they have struggled on the road this year. The Flames are scoring just 2.65 goals per game this year and they are facing one of the best defensive teams in the NHL. I know the Jets have been a little inconsistent over the last two months, but I like them against this Calgary offense. Take the Jets -1.5 here.
