Winnipeg Jets vs Florida Panthers Prediction

The Florida Panthers are still the best team in hockey and remain the team to beat, but it’s the Jets who are playing the best hockey. The Jets have just two losses on the season, and they’ve already racked up 7 wins on the road. The Jets are making bettors money hand over fist and until this stretch cools off they’re hard to step in front of, especially when getting plus money. I expect the Panthers to bounce back, but thy are coming off two sloppy games to the Devils. The value is with the Jets at this price point, so that’s where I go.
