The set-up: The Jets looked like the best team in the North Conference for most of the regular season, but the panic button has now been smashed in Winnipeg after five straight losses. The Jets have totaled just three goals combined over their last three games. Still, the Canadiens issues are even greater in my opinion. The Habs have lost three of four, including a 4-1 setback here to Toronto two nights ago.

The pick: Montreal now comes in averaging 2.83 GPG, and allowing 2.85. Winnipeg still averages 3.06 GPG, while conceding 2.78. The Jets are also 7-1 in their last eight after five or more straight losses in a row. Great value on the "better" team here.

This is a 10* PLAY-BOOK on the Jets.
