Jets vs. Kings: Odds & Prediction

The Los Angeles Kings are -185 favorites, while the Winnipeg Jets are +154 underdogs, with the over/under set at six goals.

Winnipeg is on a back-to-back, but Connor Hellebuyck is getting the start, as the Jets gave backup Lauren Brossoit the start on Tuesday night in San Jose.

Both teams play excellent defensively and are solid in goal, which should make this a low-scoring game. Although the Kings are better on the road, with the Jets on the back-to-back, LA should be able to outskate and outwork Winnipeg's tired legs to get the win.

Prediction: Kings 3, Jets 1.
