San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets prediction
The San Jose Sharks have been able to surprise here and there over the last few weeks, but they're still the worst team in hockey, and they've been even worse on the road, where they're 5-19-3. The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a rough couple of weeks, but they've been sharp overall this season, and you expect them to turn things around sooner than later. It's hard to find the confidence to get behind the Sharks. This is what the doctor ordered if you're the Jets, and they can't afford to blow it. Give me the Jets and the PL for max betting value.
