Money Line: -104.00 Winnipeg (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -104.00 Winnipeg (Away)
Result: Loss
I like the Jets this season and I like them especially off a loss where they have won the past six times following a defeat.
Winnipeg ranks fifth in scoring while Florida is 27th defensively. The Jets have plenty of firepower with Blake Wheeler, who leads the NHL in assists, Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers. The Jets get to face Panthers second-string goalie James Reimer, who is one of the lesser backups in the league with an .892 save percentage and 3.67 GAA. Regular Florida goalie Roberto Luongo is injured again.
The Jets should be highly motivated after losing 5-1 to the Red Wings on Tuesday.
Winnipeg is likely to go with Eric Comrie in net. He's a top prospect, who is 8-4-1 with a .927 save percentage in 13 starts for Manitoba in the AHL. Comrie faces a Panthers squad that has scored two or fewr goals in seven of their last 10 games.
