Bruins vs. Jets Preview

As someone who’s always had a soft spot for the Winnipeg Jets, it’s unfortunate to see the situation they’re in.

Former Vezina Trophy and Hart Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck wants a divorce from the team, even with five years left on his contract. It’s one of, if not, the biggest loss for any team in the NHL.

So because of that, Stuart Skinner comes in, a player with whom I have a toxic relationship. At times, he can be so good. At times, he can look like the worst goaltender in the league. There’s no in-between here.

Aside from Skinner, the Jets are a fine team. I think they try to clutch onto players a little too long, but I think for a team like Winnipeg, it kind of has to. However, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor are two of the best players in the game.

The Boston Bruins head into town, and there will be a lot of motivation for the B’s to have a better season. We’ve already seen it when they opened up their season with a 3-0 blowout to the Rangers.

They made a significant addition to their roster, adding high-end goal scorer JJ Peterka, and I can’t stress enough how good of a pickup that was. Pair him with David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie, and you have a deadly scoring trio.

Tonight in the ‘Peg, I like the Bruins to win outright here.

For this, I’m banking on Skinner to have a rough game out of the gate, which isn’t out of the question. After the game against the Rangers, I’m incredibly bullish on the B’s, and I see them taking advantage of an already-vulnerable Jets squad.

Best Bet: Bruins Moneyline (+105, BetMGM)
