Free Winnipeg Jets vs. New York Islanders NHL Hockey Prediction:
This won’t be an easy win for either team, considering how well Winnipeg has looked and how tough the Islanders can be on any given night. At home, the advantage goes to New York, however. The Isles get the W in this one.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER
Neither team plays a lot of defense and the goaltending hasn’t been great. With scorers on both sides, this game should hit the Over.
