Winnipeg Jets vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction

The Winnipeg Jets are the better team that’s playing the better hockey, so it’s not a surprise they’re favored. However, the Montreal Canadiens have been kind to bettors over the last few weeks, and they’ve earned points in eight of their last 10 games. Over their last 10 games, the Habs have made a $100 bettor more than $400. The Canadiens have also won three of the last four games against the Jets, for what that’s worth. Again, the Jets are the better team and have 14 road wins this season. The value is still with the Canadiens given this recent stretch we’re seeing. I’ll take a stab with the home dog.
