Canadiens vs Jets Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Canadiens won 3-2 at home in a shootout, but both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings.

In this Canadiens vs Jets Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Canadiens have been the better team this season but are coming off a loss that ended their previous three-game winning streak and are 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Jets are 3-6 in their last 9 games so I see no value on either side. Both teams score 6.3 goals per game combined while allow 6.31 goals per game combined. Montreal has scored 14 goals in its last three games so I expect a high-scoring affair today. Take the over 6.
