Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The Winnipeg Jets are the better team and should be favored at home, where they’re 14-3-2 on the season. The Jets have also dominated each of the last four games against the Red Wings. I’m not shocked about the line. However, I’ve been on the Red Wings recently, and they’ve cashed some nice tickets in their last three games. The Red Wings have found their offense as of late, and that includes scoring 13 goals in their last three games. The Jets are also coming off an awful loss to the Ducks, for whatever that’s worth. Again, the Jets should be favored, but you can do a lot worse than taking a shot with the Red Wings and a chance to make 1.7 times your money. Give me the Red Wings.
