Result: Win
Money Line: -129.00 Winnipeg (Home)
Result: Win
The Jets are the superior team and I see them getting it done at home after being blanked, 4-0, in Winnipeg by the Canucks on Monday night.
Winnipeg had won four in a row - two against the Canucks - until losing last night.
The Jets seemed overconfident, perhaps because of that win streak, as they fell behind 3-0 in the first period. Winnipeg came back to fire 15 shots on goal in the third period, but the game had been decided by then.
If the Jets come out with more urgency - which they should do in this rapid revenge spot - they should be fine. Vancouver is 3-8 in its last 11 road games. The Canucks were 1-9 at Winnipeg before last night's game.
The Jets take to the road for 12 of their next 14 games following this matchup. So they can't afford not to pick up two points with a home win here.
The Canucks return to Vancouver for five games following this one so their concentration might not be at peak efficiency.
