Philadelphia Flyers vs. Winnipeg Jets Prediction
I’m going to lean towards the Jets here. It’s a tricky travel spot for Winnipeg with the isolated home game sandwiched in between a bunch of road dates, but I think this is a good spot for Winnipeg to get their heads right and get back on track. Philadelphia is still playing some decent hockey, but I just think this is a bad spot for the Flyers to be in and I think the Jets get the W at home here. Give me Winnipeg.
