Jets vs. Red Wings Preview
On paper, this game is pretty evenly matched, but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to what the lines indicate.
The overall vibe in Detroit is morbid.
The Red Wings sent former captain Dylan Larkin, who has requested a trade, out in front of the fans in street clothes for them to boo him at the top of their lungs.
On top of that, reports say young defenseman Simon Edvinsson wants to be traded, while the Wings want to re-sign him. And to put a nice cherry on top, Red Wing fans were chanting for the owners to sell the team.
Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets, who are dealing with a similar situation regarding their goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, didn’t look half bad Friday night against the Boston Bruins.
The Jets nearly pulled out a 3-2 win, until Boston scored in the final minute to tie it up, and then won it in overtime. MoneyPuck had given Winnipeg a 62% on its “Deserve-To-Win-O’Meter.”
All things considered, I really like the build of the Jets. The trio of Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabe Vilardi has been as smooth as can be for the past two seasons, and they picked up right where they left off on Friday.
We also got to see the debut of 2026 draft pick Viggo Björk, who ended up being fifth on the team in expected goals.
I like the Jets outright here.
