Predators vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup as one of the top teams in the NHL this season, but they will be on a back-to-back in this game and will be on the road. The Jets have been very strong on the road this season, while the Predators are 14-12-3 at home. Nashville has scored a total of three goals in their last three games and they continue to underachieve. I know Winnipeg is on a back-to-back and has their backup goalie in the net, but there is no way I can back Nashville in their current form. Take the Jets to get another win in this game.
