Jets vs. Kings Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. I know it’s still a coin flip price with the Jets again who have had stumbles here and there since their hot start, but they keep finding wins and don’t go on any sort of prolonged slump. The Kings have been stumbling, and a 5-goal 3rd period against the San Jose Sharks doesn’t instill a lot of confidence going forward. I think the Jets can get the job done on the road again here so give me the Jets.
