Jets vs Blues Prediction 

St. Louis comes into this matchup flying high after their big win in game three, but I have to side with the Jets here. The Blues were able to capitalize on the home ice advantage in game three, but Winnipeg is the much better team and I expect a bounce back performance from Hellebuyck. The Jets have been one of the best defensive teams in the NHL this season, so I think the game three defensive issues will be fixed here. Winnipeg won three out of four regular season meetings with St. Louis and I like them to pick up another win in game four. Take the Jets here.
