San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The San Jose Sharks have been able to compete through four games and get a couple of positive results, but they’re not scoring, and that’s going to be an issue on the road in this spot. The Winnipeg Jets are off to a ridiculous start on the defensive side, allowing less than 1 goal per game and 27.7 shots per game. Three games is still a small sample size, but the numbers are still the numbers. At this moment the Jets are the best defense in the league and based on this year’s start and last year, the Sharks are limited offensively. Combine the two, and I like the Jets. Give me the Jets and the PL to shave down the price.
