Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

The Jets are probably the better team, but they are on tired legs and I really don’t trust them here. The Ducks in their last game had their offense breakout scoring four goals and they are going to have no issue running up the score again here. The TIred legs are going to really hurt the Jets’ defense, and it will be the Ducks that will come out on top. Back the Ducks on the money line.
