Anaheim vs Winnipeg: Flying to California will negatively affect Jets form

Anaheim and Winnipeg already met in California this season. The Ducks finished 4-1. Will the Jets be able to exact revenge? Here are a few bets on the game.

Anaheim look decent but still lose

Dallas Eakins’ team has 2 wins and 4 defeats already, only 1 of which has been allowed outside of regulation time, according to the results of 6 starting games. That was just the Ducks’ previous game, against Minnesota on the road. There the Ducks looked more than decent. Several times they took the lead but still lost 3-4, conceding with 13 seconds left in overtime to Ryan Hartman.

Overall, the Ducks have played pretty well in almost every game. Still, the team lacks experience, confidence in their abilities, and mostly, it seems, a proper coach to produce consistent results. Eakins is one of the most enigmatic figures in the NHL today.

Winnipeg have just returned home and are hitting the road again

The Jets started the new season with three straight road losses - to Anaheim, San Jose, and Minnesota. Paul Morris’s team returned home with the first round of top-notch hockey, first a 5-1 defeat to Anaheim, then a 6-4 win over Nashville. Just as Winnipeg got their form, they had to fly to California again - very unfortunate.

Expert Betting Tips

The Jets were not accidentally unable to cope with Anaheim in the first away game - a long flight can hardly positively affect the team. Something similar will likely happen this time. Winnipeg are much stronger than the Ducks, but there are extra factors in favour of the Californian team.

Betting options:

• W1 for 2.10;
• Handicap 1 (0) for 2.15.
