Jets vs Canadiens Prediction

The Canadiens are seeing the better results lately, so it’s not a surprise they’re slight favorites. However, the Jets have had a tough schedule over the last week or so, and despite the losses, they’ve been in all of those games. The Jets snagged a point from the Stars on the road and took the Blues and the Canes down to the wire. This is a more winnable game for the Jets, and the underdog has won 5 of the last 8 games between Winnipeg and the Habs. I’ll grab the slightly more favorable price with the Jets on their home ice.
