Winnipeg Jets vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Jets +1.5 here. I think this is going to be a tight, competitive matchup, and the Golden Knights’ last three games have all needed OT/SO or been a one-goal game in regulation. Winnipeg’s fighting for their  lives here and I think this is going to be a tight game here so give me the Jets +1.5 in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Winnipeg +1.5
