Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks prediction
The Winnipeg Jets are obviously the better team, they’re playing the better hockey, and they should be favored. However, the Sharks are coming off their best week yet, where they beat the Islanders and Red Wings and took Vegas to a shootout. For the first time all season, the Sharks looked like a real NHL team and should have some confidence flowing through those veins. Coming back home the Sharks have some betting value, especially when getting nearly two times our money. I’ll take a shot in the dark here with the road dog.
