Pittsburgh Penguins vs Winnipeg Jets prediction

The Pittsburgh Penguins and plus money is always intriguing, especially when they just shutout the Jets a couple of days ago. However, the Penguins are on the end of a back to back and this isn’t the spot you want to be on the road. The Winnipeg Jets have been a buzz saw for much of the season, and they’re 16-7-2 at home this season. After a tough road trip, the Jets should like their chances to get back on track at home with the rest advantage. This isn’t an ideal schedule spot for the Penguins, even if history is on their side. Give me the Jets for a nice bounce back home victory.
