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 30-11-4 record overall which has them leading their division in the West and also has one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have looked great in their road games too with their 14-5-2 road record and they have been hot lately, going 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Leafs have also looked good in their games this season with their 23-14-8 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the East, but lately they have been slipping down the standings as they haven't looked great in their games. They are only 5-4-1 in their last 10 games as they have been struggling more to win lately and they haven't looked that great on home ice this season either, going 10-9-2 in their home games. The Jets enter this game as the hotter team right now and they are also coming off a loss in their last game to the Bruins so they will be looking to bounce back from that. The Jets also have one of the best defenses and some of the best goaltending in the league while the Leafs are playing their 1st game back at home from a road trip out West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.
