After a six-game playoff cameo last spring vs. St. Louis, Winnipeg’s contention window likely closed following a massive talent exodus. It’s telling the Jets open as decisive underdogs vs. the re-stocked, but success-deprived Devils. New Jersey finished 31-41-10 in 2019.
When the puck drops tonight and each side takes center ice, myriad questions surrounding fit and function regarding Winnipeg and New Jersey’s recent overhauls will begin finding answers.
The two main questions are, can NJ gain net stops? And, how will Dustin Byfuglien‘s personal leave further effect Winnipeg?
Winnipeg Jets
Months removed from sporting blue line dominance, Jets nation watched key defensive cogs Tyler Myers, Ben Chiarot and Byfuglien move on. With stop-gap replacements in tow, additional Winnipeg free-agency losses include Brandin Tanev, Mark Dano, Par Lindholm and a host of others.

Such roster turnover marks a rebuild effort following the Jets’ latest playoff loss. It’s fairly unprecedented for a group to hemorrhage that production level and retain quality play the next season.
Game one, especially in a hostile environment vs. an opponent exuding optimism, could very well become dicey for this gutted Winnipeg group.
New Jersey Devils
Defeated on both ends last year, fresh signings, impact draft picks, and an anticipated return make New Jersey an intriguing unit on-paper.

Though, however good the acquisitions of P.K. Subban, Nikita Gusev and Wayne Simmonds look at first glance, their talent must still mesh. But the return of 2018 MVP Taylor Hall should expedite the process.
Limited to 33 contests last year, 27-year-old Hall has grand designs of leading New Jersey back toward respectability in 2019. While the Devils’ offense may shine early, still, goalie Corey Schneider must rebound if New Jersey is to fulfill its hype.

Free Winnipeg Jets vs. New Jersey Devils NHL Prediction:
Boosted by a raucous, passionate arena, the Devils’ first and second offensive waves will overpower Winnipeg’s stripped defense. What a difference a summer makes. Healthy, Hall will explode from the gate and make his reclamation statement at the Jets’ expense.
When Vegas stacks the odds in favor of a team coming off a last-placed finish, especially when their opponent had a dominant regular season, there is generally merit for such confidence. Tonight’s game could become even more lopsided for homestanding New Jersey,
