Winnipeg at Nashville

Winnipeg comes off a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia for the Jets' fifth win in seven games as backup goalie David Rittich had 28 saves and the Jets held on after jumping out to a 3-1 first-period lead. Connor Hellebuyck should be back in net tonight with a 23-12-1 record, 2.39 goals-against average and .924 save percentage for the Jets. Juuse Saros has lost three of his past five starts for Nashville while allowing 16 goals in that span. The Predators do come off a 5-3 win against Los Angeles on Saturday, but they have lost seven of 10 meetings against Winnipeg, including 2-1 in overtime in the only one this season in December. The Jets are 17-5 versus the Central Division and 15-6 overall playing with one day of rest. Nashville is just 5-16 its past 21 divisional games. Take the Jets as a Max Play.
