Golden Knights at Jets 1/15/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Could this be a preview to the playoffs again? The Golden Knights have really been playing well on the year finally and the Jets have been playing well enough to find themselves sitting in a good position on the year. However, what would be really interesting will be to see how well the Jets are going to show up on home ice in this game and how good the Golden Knights and Fleury will show up with the defense as that was the suspect part for the Golden Knights early on in the season. The Jets, though, have been fairly balanced and between Hellebuyck and Wheeler the Jets have been doing good. On the year so far the Golden Knights have been able to score at a clip of 3.02 goals a game, but the Golden Knights defense is giving up only 2.63 goals a game. The Golden Knights have converted on the power play at 18.8%, but have killed off 82.9%.

The Jets have scored at a rate of 3.44 goals a game, but the defense for the Jets is giving up only 2.82 goals a game. The Jets have converted on the power play at 28.1%, but have killed off 80.3%.

The game here is going to be more of a defensive battle than what anyone would expect. The difference will be the home ice advantage for Winnipeg, which can rattle the opponent. Not to mention, the Jets have a slightly better offense in the game and that will help the Jets bring home a narrow win in the game here. Final Score, Winnipeg Jets win 2-1.
