Winnipeg struggles on the road, but they are outstanding at home (10-5-1). Winnipeg is #12 in the NHL in goals scored, winning seven of its last nine games at home while averaging 3.44 goals. They come off a 1-0 win over Pittsburgh as goalie Connor Hellebuyck made 30 saves. Hellebuyck has been superb at home for the Jets, going 5-1-0 with a 1.98 goals-against average in six games. He's 6-3-0 with 2.12 goals against average in nine contests since being recalled from Manitoba. He faces a Detroit team playing the end of a three-game road trip, while dropping six of nine. Defense has been a problem, allowing 15 goals the last five contests after falling 3-1 at Minnesota on Monday. And the Red Wings are 7-16 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Take Winnipeg.
