Vegas Golden Knights vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction: Vegas Will Be Stronger

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs Winnipeg Jets match which will take place on April 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas was perfect in the regular season. The Golden Knights led the West standings most of the time, and at the end of the regular season, they became the first. They scored 111 points in 82 matches – an incredible result. The second Edmonton team was ahead by two points. On the eve of the playoffs, they also were great - eight games without defeats in regular time, where there were five wins. On April 12 and 14, Vegas beat Seattle twice – 4:1 and 3:1. The Golden Knights will surely stay in the battle for Stanley Cup until the end.

Winnipeg Jets

Winnipeg achieved the wild card of the Western Conference. The Jets only found out in the penultimate regular season matches that they would be a part of the playoffs. Then they won three times, and the success over Minnesota (3:1) allowed them to get ahead of Calgary and win the last ticket in the fight against them. After this triumph, there was a defeat by Colorado 2:4. In the West standings, Winnipeg became the eighth, scoring 95 points in 82 matches. It is unlikely that the Jets will be able to win in the first round of the playoffs, but they will show a fight.
