Ducks vs. Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. Winnipeg is the better team by a mile here and the Anaheim Ducks are back to having significant issues with finding the back of the net. Winnipeg has had inconsistencies as of late, but I think they can work those out against an Anaheim team on the second half of the back-to-back. Give me Winnipeg -1.5.
