Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When you take a look at the upcoming match between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Winnipeg Jets, the numbers tell a pretty intriguing story. The Blue Jackets have been underperforming, especially on home ice, having lost four out of their last five games there. They've also been struggling in the offensive zone, averaging just 0.6 goals per game at home. Meanwhile, the Jets are soaring high on the road, taking a solid 4 wins out of their last 5 away games. The Jets have also been holding it down on defense, keeping their opponents to a modest 2.8 goals against average on the road. All signs point to the Jets easily covering the 1.5 puck line. So, I'd say buckle up and get ready for a Jet-fueled victory on this one.
