Penguins vs Jets prediction

Penguins vs Jets Best bet: Jets -1.5 (+140)

Would you have bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins being atop the NHL standings a month into the season?

I know I wouldn’t. In fact, I’m still not sold on the Pens being a playoff team.

The Penguins will face one of their toughest tests so far when they take on the red-hot Winnipeg Jets this afternoon.

Pittsburgh has certainly had a hot start, but I’m not sure it’s totally sustainable. The Penguins currently own the NHL’s best save percentage (.921) and the second-highest shooting percentage (13.9).

Flip back to last season, and the Penguins — with largely the same roster — ranked 28th and 20th in those categories, respectively.

The Jets are 8-2-0 over their last 10 and have won three straight meetings vs. the Penguins, outscoring them 12-5 in the process. Winnipeg will skate away with two points on Saturday.
