Senators vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this game looking for their 11th win in a row, but they will be on the road for this game. The Jets are 18-9-0 on the road this year, while the Senators are 16-8-2 at home. Ottawa has lost four games in a row and they have been outscored 15-4 in their last three games. The Senators have been pretty low scoring this season and they will face a Winnipeg team that has elite defense and goaltending. Both teams are dealing with some injuries, so it is unclear how that will impact each lineup, but I have to back the Jets in their current form, especially with Ottawa struggling. Take Winnipeg here.
