Kings vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup with one of the best records in the NHL, but they can’t take their foot off of the gas, as Dallas is just four points behind them in the Central. The Jets are 23-13-0 on the road this year, while the Kings are 27-4-4 at home. Los Angeles did lose their last home game, but they are one of the best home teams in the NHL this year. Both teams are great defensively, but if we get the Kings on home ice at a decent price, we have to take them. Take LA to win here.
