Detroit Red Wings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup after losing their first game of the season last time out, so they will be looking to get back on track here. The Jets have been great offensively and they are scoring on nearly half of their power plays right now. Detroit has lost two games in a row, but their defense and goaltending have been better over the last five games. The Red Wings are only scoring 2.78 goals per game and I don’t think they can keep pace with this high-scoring Jets team. Take Winnipeg on the road.
