NY Rangers vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup with just one loss on the season and they have been the best team in the NHL through 15 games. The Jets are 6-0-0 at home this year, while the Rangers are 4-2-1 at home. New York also has a great record this season and they have won three of their last four games. Both of these teams have been fantastic on defense this year, but they are also very high-scoring in the offensive zone. I know each team is allowing fewer than 2.50 goals per game, but I am taking these high-powered offenses to generate plenty of chances. Take the over here.
