Winnipeg Jets vs New Jersey Devils Prediction
The Jets just haven’t proven they can get the job done on the road, and they’ve scored 1 or fewer goals in 3 of their last 4 games overall. I doubt a road game makes things better. The Devils have won 5 of their last 7 games and have picked things up defensively. Yes, the Jets have owned the Devils, winning 5 of the last 6 games. That includes a 4-3 win a couple of weeks ago. Still, the Devils are in comfortably better form and have home ice. The price is cheap. Give me the Devils.
