Blues vs. Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. Winnipeg’s simply the hotter team and while I haven’t been a fan of how the Jets have let teams hang around as of late, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re finding ways to pick up wins. St. Louis is a solid team, but they just can’t catch the puck luck they need to get over the hump. Give me Winnipeg for the win at home here.
