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).
