Hurricanes vs Jets Prediction
This is the definition of two teams heading in different directions, as the Jets have lost eight straight and haven’t won since October 13. The Hurricanes have won eight of their 10 games and have earned points in nine of those games. The Jets have allowed a combined 16 goals in their last three games, while the Canes have allowed two or fewer goals in seven of their last 10 games.
The Hurricanes have won four straight games against the Jets, which includes a 3-2 win in Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago. The Jets have zero value in the betting market. It has to be the Hurricanes in this spot, and of course I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
