Canucks vs Jets Prediction

In this Canucks vs Jets Prediction, the Jets are coming as -210 home favorites. The Jets have been the far better team this season and have finally managed to end their previous lengthy losing streak with a huge comeback win in Montreal, but have still allowed at least four goals in each of their last five games. On the flip side, the Canucks have been one of the worst teams in hockey this season and have won only once in their last 14 games and have by far the worst defense in the league, while the Jets also have a bottom-10 penalty kill, so I expect a shootout in this matchup. Both goalies have also been shaky at best, so take the over 6.5 goals in this one.

The Jets are 8-2 in their 10 meetings against the Canucks and have won their last five meetings in Winnipeg. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.
