They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game.

The Jets have not been playing well coming into this game and they enter the game as a favorite according to the current betting odds. They have lost their last 4 straight games and even though some of them have been close, others have been bad losses. They have not been playing well in those recent games and now they are coming into this game off of a back-to-back and on the road for both games while the Canadiens will be rested at home. The Canadiens have been having an awful season as they sit at the bottom of the standings but they play a much better game at home and considering the recent schedule and play of the Jets, the Canadiens have a good chance to win this game at home. The Jets also have the stress and pressure of trying to make it into a wild card spot and the Canadiens only have better games to look forward to. The Canadiens are going to catch the Jets in a bad spot here and win this game at home.
