Jets vs Panthers Prediction

We just saw the Panthers go into Winnipeg on Tuesday and leave with a 5-1 victory. This time the Panthers get the Jets at home with the rest advantage. The play has to be the Panthers and the PL for max betting value. The Jets are on tired legs, and they also haven’t won a game in 17 days. The Jets have allowed a combined 11 goals in their last two games, and their offense isn’t good enough to counter that production. The Jets are 30th in goals scored and 31st in faceoff percentage.

The Panthers are still missing key players, but they’re finding ways to win regardless, and the Tkachuk brothers are playing out of their minds. Give me the Panthers in a comfortable win Friday night.
