Winnipeg is having a great season. The team is a pleasure to watch - the fans are happy with excellent results. Thus, with 44 points, the Jets are located in the second position in the Central Division. On the eve of a short break, the Jets secured two confident victories - 5-2 over Detroit and 5:1 over Boston. However, after these wins, Winnipeg failed to Chicago in overtime (2-1).

Minnesota does not work wonders in the current campaign. The Wild currently ranks seventh in the Central Division with 36 points. That's still a decent distance from the playoff zone, and they need to improve. That's exactly what the team has been doing lately, winning seven of their last eight meetings. Minnesota earned two more points the day before by beating Detroit 6-3.

Winnipeg has been no worse than Minnesota this season and, in fact, has been better. Analysts have them as favorites, and we fully agree. The Jets have won five of their last six home matches, and their defense has been outstanding. But the Wild have not played well away - three losses in five previous games in regulation. We think the Jets can live up to expectations and earn two points.
