The Jets have been a dominant force this season, boasting a 43-16-4 record. They recently secured a convincing 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, showcasing their defensive strength. On the offensive side, Winnipeg will rely on the sturdy skates of Kyle Connor. Connor has been electric with 31 goals and 45 assists this season. With a sound defense and talent at the front, Winnipeg are a force.

The Devils, currently holding a 33-24-6 record, are navigating a challenging phase. The team is reeling from the loss of star center Jack Hughes, who underwent shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the season. Additionally, defenseman Dougie Hamilton's absence has further strained their lineup. These setbacks have contributed to their recent struggles, including a 4-6-0 record over their last ten games. Jesper Bratt has put together a fine season with an impressive 53 assists. New Jersey will need a big game from Bratt to pull off a win here.

Even playing this game on the road, Winnipeg is the better side. We get decent odds to back them and they have just been a money train this season. Combining this with New Jersey's injury woes, the Jets are a confident bet. We like the Winnipeg Jets to win this one 3-1.
