The Jets are entering this game with 77 points, a 37-14-3 record overall, and they are 20-5-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Washington Capitals in their last game, winning that one on the road 5-4 in overtime.

The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 37-14-3 record overall which has them leading their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have looked great on home ice too with their 20-5-3 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have looked really good in their games this season with their 32-17-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East. They have been one of the best teams in the East all season, but they haven't really been a good road team with their 12-11-3 road record. They are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games and they are coming off a loss to the Kings in their last one. The Hurricanes lost that game against a slumping Kings team at home and now they are starting a mini road trip where they haven't played their best hockey this year. The Jets have not only been one of the best teams in the NHL all season, but they are also the much hotter team coming into this one. They are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games and have a ton of momentum on their side with 6 wins in a row now. They are also coming off a big win over the Capitals on the road in their last one, the Capitals being the 2nd best team in the NHL right now, so that win will give them some extra momentum to take advantage of a Hurricanes team that hasn't been the same team in their road games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.

“The bounces certainly didn't go our way, even after we got Robbie's goal because then we got an empty net, bounces off the post and we somehow shove it back in and then they come down and score. We didn't get the bounces tonight.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s loss against the LA Kings in their game on Saturday.

“You’re being a little bit unfair to the rest of our team. We’ve won hockey games in a lot of ways. I know it’s a little perception that because we have a Vezina goalie that’s the only thing that happens. That’s not true. We defend as well as we did last year. We don’t give teams a lot of room to work.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s win against the Capitals in their game on Saturday.
