Jets vs Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game with both teams struggling, but I think the Golden Knights just have more upside in their current form. Winnipeg just can’t seem to get their feet back underneath them and despite getting Hellebuyck back from injury, it hasn’t helped Winnipeg escape these struggles. I think Vegas takes care of business here and gets it done, so give me Vegas.
