Penguins vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup with the home ice advantage and they have won three of their last four games. The Jets are 4-3-0 at home this year, while the Penguins are 5-1-1 on the road. Pittsburgh has alternated wins and losses over their last five, but they are 3-0-2 in that span. The Penguins continue to play well and exceed expectations, as they are one of the highest scoring teams in the league. This should be a great game between two solid teams, but I have to take Pittsburgh at this price, as they continue to be undervalued.
