Winnipeg Jets vs Florida Panthers Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup as one of the best teams in the NHL to start the season, but they have lost two games in a row and have been out scored 9-1 in those two games. The Jets are 8-1-0 at home this year, while the Panthers are 6-2-0 on the road. Florida played a very strong game against the Jets last time out, but I like Winnipeg to bounce back here. The Jets have been outstanding on their power play and they are still one of the best defensive teams in the NHL. Take Winnipeg here.
