Pick
I’m backing Winnipeg here. It’s not a game I’m necessarily rushing to bet, but the Hurricanes haven’t looked good lately and have been shut out in back-to-back games. Winnipeg hasn’t been great themselves, but they’ve been decent on the road and the value to fade Carolina until they figure their stuff out is too good to pass on. Give me the Jets and the plus money here.
