Shane’s Free Pick
Tired legs are a big concern for the Senators. They will be playing on their second night of a back to back, and this isn’t a great offensive team to start. The Senators are averaging 2.96 goals per game and they are going to struggle to score again. Winnipeg will get over their season average of 3.24 goals and that is going to be the difference here as the Jets are able to secure the victory.
