Prediction for the NHL-1 match between New Jersey vs Winnipeg, which will take place on March 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey

New Jersey hasn't exactly been shining this season. The Devils had a great start, but then they fell behind, as expected. With 72 points, they're currently sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, and it's pretty much a given they'll make the playoffs. But they need to add more to their game, as they've had a lot of defeats. The day before, they lost twice - first to Vegas 0-2, then to Dallas 3-4.

Winnipeg

Meanwhile, Winnipeg's having a great season. The Jets have been the Western Conference leaders for a long time, and they're not going to go down. They've got 90 points, six ahead of second-place Dallas. Scott Arniel is clearly doing a great job with the Jets, and they're on track to win the Stanley Cup. They had an 11-game winning streak, but recently lost three games in a row. But they bounced back strong with a 4-1 win against Philadelphia.

Bookmakers' Options

The bookmaker company 1xbet thinks the Jets will be stronger in the next NHL meeting. You can bet on them winning in regulation time at 2.356 and in overtime and a shootout at 1.844.

Expert Betting Tips

We're not expecting New Jersey to win this next game. The Devils have had a rough season, and they're always struggling to get consistent results. Meanwhile, Winnipeg's on a roll. They're leading the West, and they've won 12 of their last 15 games. The day before, the Jets had a big 4-1 win over the Flyers, which was a morale booster. We're looking forward to another one in Newark and we're backing the visitors to come out on top.
