The Jets had a less than stellar road trip which saw them stumble home from the west coast with a 2-4-0 record. They had a day to rest and a day to practice since they returned and in a positive development they got both Morgan Barron and Cole Koepke off injured reserve. Based off practice on Monday it appears just Barron will be back tonight when they welcome the Blue Jackets

Odds:
The Jets square off against a Blue Jackets team that played just last night, while Winnipeg comes in refreshed after a few days between games. Both clubs are riding the momentum of recent wins, but the scheduling tilt—and a slight lean from the oddsmakers—gives the Jets a favorable setup on paper. Now it’s on Winnipeg to turn that advantage into execution and begin the homestand with a big W. For the latest Winnipeg Jets hockey odds, visit NHL betting site Betway.
