Winnipeg Jets vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights here. The Jets are coming off of the blowout win over the Bruins, but this Winnipeg Jets team has been inconsistent as of late and a lot of their recent wins have been against subpar teams. Vegas has flat out owned the Jets in recent years and sometimes a team just has your number. I think Vegas has a ton of value attached to them in this spot so give me the Golden Knights.
