Ottawa Senators vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The Ottawa Senators and Winnipeg Jets were two of the hottest teams entering the break, so you can make a case for either side. The difference is the Jets are at home, where they’re 12-3-1 on the season. The Senators have seen 8 of their 14 losses come on the road this season. The Jets have also won 4 of the last 5 games against the Senators, often getting whatever they want offensively in those matchups. The Jets are also the third most profitable team for NHL bettors. The price isn’t anything crazy. It’s hard to go against the home team in this spot. Give me the Jets.
