Tampa Bay Lightning vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The Tampa Bay Lightning and the plus money is worth a look because you don’t often get them in the underdog role often, and they’ve played well enough this season. However, the Jets have been arguably the best team in hockey up to this point, and they’re not a team I’m excited to step in front of. The Jets are firing on all cylinders through 11 games. The Jets have also won 4 straight games against the Lightning and 7 of the last 10 meetings. The price is cheap. Give me the Jets as the hot hand.
