Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup with the best record in the NHL to start the season, but they are coming off of a loss against Tampa Bay in their last game. The Jets are allowing just 2.24 goals against per game this season, while they are scoring 4.35 goals per game and have been elite on the power play. Florida has lost two games in a row, but they are very good once again this season. This should be a great game, but I am actually going to take the over, as I really like both teams offensively.
