Jets Look to Bounce Back After Tough Loss
Alright, let’s get into this action between the Jets and Florida. Looking at the Jets, they lost last time out to Tampa Bay and will be looking to avoid getting swept on their Florida trip. Now, what’s Florida been doing? They’ve had two straight losses, both to the Devils, getting outscored 10-3 in those games at home.
This will be game six of a long and extended road trip for this Panthers team. As I mentioned, the Jets had their big seven-game win streak snapped by Tampa in their last outing. What have the Jets done this season overall? Well, they’re 15-2 and 7-1 on the road, with their lone road loss coming in that last game. So, I’m looking for a bounce-back here.
Key Stats Favor the Jets
Hellebuyck should be getting the start for the Jets, while Bobrovsky is the most likely starter for Florida. Definitely check the goalie report for confirmation, as nothing is set in stone at the time of shooting this video.
Another interesting stat: the Jets have excelled against good offensive teams—the ones scoring three-plus goals per game. This season, Winnipeg is 9-1 in such matchups. If you’re going to give me a plus price with this Jets team to bounce back, I’m taking it.
Final Pick: Winnipeg Jets to Win
Looking at the last two seasons, the Jets have had no problem against Florida. They won both games last year, 6-4 and 3-0, including a solid win in Florida. The season before, they also came into Florida and secured a 5-4 overtime win. Either way, they’ve come out on top in their last two trips to Florida. Make it three straight—give me the Jets to get the win here on Saturday.
Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. I appreciate each and every one of you. Have yourself a wonderful Saturday, and we’ll see you on the next one!
