Winnipeg Jets vs. Utah Hockey Club Prediction

I’m on the Jets in this game. Utah is mathematically alive in the playoff race, but I’ve already chalked this team up as missing the postseason as I just don’t think they have the makeup to win out and leapfrog the teams ahead of them, plus it would take a lot for Utah to sneak in if we’re being honest. The Jets are one of the more consistent teams in the league home or away, and I just feel like the Jets can bully Utah in this game to get another win on the road and snap the home team’s dominance in this matchup. Give me Winnipeg.
