Bruins vs Jets Betting Prediction
Boston comes into this game with one of the best records in the NHL and they are 9-3-3 on the road, but they have lost three of their last four games. All four of those games have gone to overtime or a shootout, so they are no stranger to playing close games. Winnipeg has won seven of their last nine games and they are one of the hottest teams in hockey right now. The Jets have allowed two goals or fewer in eight of their last nine games and each team is allowing about 2.57 goals against per game this year. Winnipeg is playing very well right now and I like them to pick up another win here.
