Jets vs Stars Prediction 

Dallas comes into this matchup trying to catch Winnipeg in the Central standings, but they are four points back and have lost three games in a row. The Stars are 28-8-3 at home this year, while the Jets are 24-15-0 on the road. Winnipeg has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, and they have won two out of three against Dallas this season. I do think this game could go either way, but I’d like it to be low-scoring as each team has been fantastic defensively this year. Take the under in this game.
