Winnipeg Jets vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction

I’m on Winnipeg here. I think Vancouver’s intent to tank has been well documented to this point, and while Winnipeg’s not in the best spot right now for their playoff positioning. They’re at least in the better spot compared to Vancouver and can dig themselves out of this hole, especially if Connor Hellebuyck can maintain his form from the olympics. I’ll back the Jets to get the job done here.
