Winnipeg Jets vs New York Islanders Prediction

The Islanders had a period where it looked like they were turning things around, but now they’ve lost six of their last nine games and are coming off a shutout loss to the Rangers. The Islanders just haven’t been able to put things together consistently this season. Despite two straight losses, the Jets have rolled all year and have done great work on the road where they’ve won 19 games. The Jets beat the Islanders last than a month ago, 4-3. With how dominant and consistent the Jets have been all year, you can argue this price should be steeper than it is. I’ll lay the juice and side with the Jets on Tuesday night.
