Winnipeg Jets vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction
I’m on the Canucks in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this one, but the Jets are just in a slump right now and it’s hard to get behind them right now even with solid goaltending because last I checked, you have to score more goals than the other team to win games. Vancouver has been inconsistent but they’ve been scoring goals in bunches as of late and I think the Canucks can get it done on home ice here. Give me the Canucks.
