Jets vs. Wild Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. The Jets have played their far better hockey on the road this season and while the Wild are not far off from being the best team in the league from a record perspective, for whatever reason, their form has dipped at home where they’re a sub-.500 team on the year. The Jets have also won six straight head-to-head with Minnesota so I’ll side with Winnipeg here.
