Edmonton Oilers vs. Winnipeg Jets Predictions

Score Prediction Jets 5 Oilers 4

A three game losing streak for the Jets has killed any realistic shot at them chasing down Toronto for first place in this division, meaning that in all likelihood we will be getting a Winnipeg/Edmonton playoff series.

Home ice will obviously be important, but with both sides likely understanding that will be their fate, I think we see all the offensive stars on both sides just go shot for shot against one another tonight and see where the final tally stands after 60 minutes.

An O/U run of 0-3-1 in the last four meetings between these two was preceded by scores of 6-5, 5-4, and 4-3 (Winnipeg went 2-1 SU in those games, while going 0-4 SU in the 0-3-1 O/U games). It's those games with 7+ goals scored from earlier in the year I expect to see tonight though.
