Ducks vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup as the best team in the Central Division, and they will try to stay healthy in this one. The Jets are 29-7-4 at home this year, while the Ducks are 14-19-7 on the road. Anaheim has dropped three games in a row, and they have blown third-period leads in their last two. I know the Jets have their sights set on the postseason, but I don’t think they will completely lie down here, as they will try to carry some confidence into the weekend. Take the Jets to win by at least two goals.
