NHL Odds: Panthers-Jets prediction, odds and pick

The Florida Panthers are coming off two straight 5-1 victories. The Panthers have 28 points on the year, but they are still buried in the Atlantic Division. Winnipeg Jets have a 15-7-2 record and 9-3 record on their home ice.

Panthers are on a five-game road trip. They are looking to cover the spread. Florida beat Seattle on Saturday thanks to a stellar performance from goalie Spencer Knight. The Panthers have scored 3.48 goals per game in the first 25 games of the season. They have a lethal one-two punch in center Carter Verhaeghe and winger Matthew Tkachuk. He scored 24 goals in 78 games last season and is on pace to do that again this year.

The Jets are second in the Central Division and are two points behind the top spot. Winnipeg is playing against a Panthers team that is shorthanded. Pierre-Luc Dubois has scored at least one point in five-straight games. The Jets need to get off to a good start and take advantage of the Panthers' injuries. The Panthers are currently in third place. They are only two games ahead of Winnipeg. It's the third time in their last six meetings that Winnipeg has trailed by multiple goals.

The Panthers have a terrible 8-17 record against the spread, while the Jets have gone a productive 14-9. Winnipeg has a better track record ATS and is the pick here.
