New York at Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Jets are off to a slow start, but they have rewarded their long awaiting fans to a 2-1 mark in their three home games and excitement fills the arena every game. It is obviously inspiring the Jets to play above their heads early in the season, so getting them as a home dog at this point is valuable. The Rangers will wind down a brutal road trip to open the season as this will be their seventh game, all on the road. They have had a lot of trouble scoring, and at this point should be travel weary. The Jets ultimately won't win 66% of their home games, but with the novelty of hockey back in Winnipeg early on they likely will. The Rangers are a brutal 49-101-6 when facing a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 in their last 156, and this being their seventh straight on the road won't make it easy. Play on Winnipeg in this one.
