Winnipeg Jets vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
I’m on the Hurricanes in this one. Until the Jets show some kind of pulse or sign of life, it just makes it really hard to get behind them in any way, shape or form. Carolina’s been the much more consistent and stable team so far this season and have looked every bit the part of a defending champion and I look for that to carry forward here. I’ll back the Hurricanes at home in this one.
