Jets vs Canadiens Prediction 11/3/2026 Today’s NHL Picks

Jets vs Canadiens Prediction

The Jets keep playing hockey, and we keep fading them blindly. The Jets haven’t won a game since the Clinton administration. Well, it’s actually been about three weeks, but it does feel that long. The Jets were just beaten by the Hurricanes 0-7 on Sunday. The Canadiens are quietly playing some of the best hockey in the league, with a defense that’s improving and an offense that’s slightly above average.

Only the Blackhawks and Canucks have lost bettors more money this season than the Jets. I say keep fading Winnipeg until it gives you a reason not to. Give me the Habs on Tuesday night, and I’ll take the PL to shave own the price.
