Tuesday’s Top NHL Bets: Jets vs. Predators 

Jets vs. Predators 

The Predators secured a 5-3 win over the Kings on Saturday evening, and they’ll take on a Predators team that’s won two straight games. This Central Division clash gets underway at 8:00 p.m. ET from Bridgestone Arena.

Both of these sides have been very reliant on their defense and goaltending this year; however, the Jets have been just a smidge better on the stat sheet. That’s ultimately why I’ll lock in Winnipeg as short favorites on the road tonight. Connor Hellebuyck will likely get the nod for the Jets, and he’s been a force this year. The netminder is 23-12-1 with a 2.39 GAA and .924 SV%. 

The team comes into tonight’s tilt ranked second in both goals allowed per game (2.44 GAA) and on the penalty kill (83.82%). They’ll be tasked with slowing down the 26th-ranked offense, the Nashville Predators (2.8 GPG). Look for the Jets to make life hard for the Predators’ forwards and come away with a low-scoring victory.

Bet: Winnipeg Jets Moneyline (-120 via DraftKings)
