It’s best just to throw home ice out the window when handicapping Tuesday’s game between the Jets and the Kings. Los Angeles is at the Staples Center for this matchup but they are just 3-7 their last 10 at home. Winnipeg is on the road Tuesday but they play well going away having won five straight on the road.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets have been winning no matter where they play lately. Winnipeg has rattled off five straight wins although the last three have come in OT. The Jets are hammering the back of the net lately with 27 goals over that span. The Jets are a top 5 team in goals scored and have the NHL’s #1 power play unit. LA has allowed 4+ in 4 of 6.

The Jets hosted Tampa Bay on Sunday but overall should be well rested having 5 of the last 6 on their home ice. Connor Hellebuyck is expected in net vs. the Kings looking for his 7th win in the last 8 games. The Kings have been held to 1 goal in 3 of 7 which bodes well for the Jets goaltender.
Los Angeles Kings
Does LA have any chance at the win vs. the solid Jets squad? LA has slipped to dead last in the league with only 25 points and are just 2-6-2 over their last 10. The home team is 5-2 in the last 7 H2H meetings between these teams but is that trend enough to trust Los Angeles in this one?

The Kings come into this game with 2 days rest but they also just wrapped up a four game trip to the Midwest. LA has been held to 2 goals or less in 6 of the last 10 which means Jonathan Quick is going to have to be stupendous in net. Quick is just 2-7-1 over his last 10 and has allowed 3+ goals in 7 of 10.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Kings are 3-7 their last 10 home games
- Kings are 1-7 their last 8 vs. a team with a winning % above .600
- Jets are 5-0 their last five road games
Free Winnipeg Jets vs. Los Angeles Kings NHL Prediction:
Is it worth the risk to lay -167 for a Winnipeg ML win? They are without a doubt the far better team in this matchup but 7 of their last 10 games have been decided by just a single goal. The Jets don’t really blow out teams to justify a puck line play.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Small lean on WPG ML. UNDER is the play
Hellebuyck is solid and the Jets get just enough offense in this one.
