Jets vs Bruins Betting Prediction
These two teams come into this game towards the top of the NHL, so this should be a great game to watch. Winnipeg has won 10 of their last 11 games and they have allowed two goals or fewer in 14 straight games. Boston is also a very good defensive squad, as they are allowing 2.64 goals against per game this season. Winnipeg is 14-4-2 on the road, while Boston is 15-3-3 at home. This should be a great game and I think either team could win, but I am going to take the under with two great defensive teams here.
