Vegas Golden Knights vs. Winnipeg Jets Betting Prediction
A huge difference in their ability to score the puck is critical as the Golden Knights are averaging 2.4 goals in their previous five games while the Jets have scored four goals in their last five games. With center Jack Eichel missing the game over an injury for Vegas, this will be an even tougher time for them to score against a solid Winnipeg squad. Winnipeg has won each of their last four home games against the Golden Knights as well. Go with Winnipeg to win here as well.
Prediction: Winnipeg ML (-146)
