Winnipeg at Nashville

You need defense to contend as a dog or on the road and Winnipeg has it. They are #2 in the NHL in goals allowed and #5 in killing penalties. Blake Wheeler scored twice and got an assist in their 3-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. The Jets rebounded from a shutout loss in their last outing and raised their record to 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. The Jets are 4-1 in their last five road games, 6-3-1 on the road for the season. Nashville is not a good offensive team (#22 in scoring, #21 on the power play). The Predators are 7-21 in their last 28 home games against a team with a winning road record, so grab the big dog in this close one and play on Winnipeg.
