Jets vs. Lightning Preview
The Jets (4-5-3) are mired in a prolonged slump, losing six in a row, including a 5-1 blowout vs. the Panthers in their last game. During this stretch, Winnipeg has been held to two goals or fewer in five of those games and is in a tough spot on the road against the Lightning (7-3-1).
While Tampa has lost two in a row, those were two tough games on the road against the Avalanche and Mammoth. The Bolts haven't played since Oct. 24, so they're on four days' rest. Meanwhile, it's the Jets' third game in their last five.
With the rest advantage against a slumping team, this is the ideal get-right spot for the Lightning.
They're highly priced on the moneyline, so we'll take the Lightning to win in regulation for a more palatable cost here.
Best Bet: Lightning 60 Minute Moneyline (-140, DraftKings)
