Final Thoughts
The Jets should keep things rolling at home in this contest against the Flames. Calgary is 1-3 on the road for the season and they should continue to struggle in this game against a Jets team that is operating at a high level. I’ll take the Jets on the moneyline, but I don’t hate the idea of laying the puckline with them either.
