They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with both losses coming against the Vegas Golden Knights in their last 2 games, losing that last one at home 5-4 in OT2.

The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the Jets and the Golden Knights for the 1st round of the NHL Western Conference playoffs. The Golden Knights are entering this game with a 2-1 series lead after taking the 1st game in Winnipeg of the series, but they needed double overtime to decide that game after the Golden Knights blew a 4-1 lead in the game. The Jets have shown in these first 3 games of the series that they can hang with the number 1 seed in the West and it is going to be difficult for the Golden Knights to take another game in Winnipeg with the way the Jets were able to storm right back on them. The Jets have had a great defense and good goaltending all season but now they are getting some goals from their offense and they will take advantage of this next home game with their offense starting to heat up. They will be able to get on the board early and defend any lead they can get. Expect the Jets to tighten up their defense here after that last game and throw a lot of pucks at the net in this game as they will be desperate to avoid going down 3-1 in the series going back to Vegas. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game and even up the series 2-2.

“Give them credit, they had a good push in the third. But coming in after the third before the first overtime, we had a lot of confidence in the room.” - Jack Eichel after their win against the Jets in their game on Saturday, game 3 of this series.

“You get in those situations and the puck takes a bounce off a skate or a stick and it goes to them. That’s usually how overtime games are ended. I talked to him right away. He’s a big part of why we’re here. We’ll keep playing him.” - Rick Bowness after his team’s loss against the Golden Knights in their game on Saturday, game 3 of this series.
