Jets vs Ducks Prediction 

Anaheim comes into this matchup on a three game winning streak and they are surging in the Pacific standings right now. The Ducks are 18-8-1 at home this year, while the Jets are 11-15-3 on the road. Winnipeg has lost two of their last three games and they have scored two regulation goals or fewer in four of their last five. The Jets have been pretty bad offensively all season, but they will face a leaky Anaheim defense here. I don’t love the Anaheim defense, but they are the much better offensive team. Take the Ducks to win here.
