The Winnipeg Jets are going through a tough period of the season losing 6 of the last 8 games which is totally opposite from the Lightning current form. The last two games the Jets won were against the bottom teams from both conferences, Arizona and Montreal.
Tampa Bay has won 7 of the last 8 games and defeated the Jets 7-1 in the last meeting which clearly makes them favourites in this one. Given the recent form and the last head-to-had, placing a bet on the Lightning seems like a great deal even more at -103 odds.
