The Jets are an elite defensive force with almost no team having an answer for them when they are fully rested. It's been a troublesome last few games for Winnipeg but it's in large part due to 11 of their last 13 games being played on the road.
They finally return home Sunday and will face a Blue Jackets team that appeared feisty at one point but has since lost three straight games. The Jets have won seven of their last 11 matchups versus the Blue Jackets and four of their last five matchups at home in Winnipeg.
Columbus struggles on the road with a 3-9-2 record and are 5-9 against the spread. The Jets are very hard to beat in their own building with a 9-2-0 record and are 6-5-0 against the spread. The only hope for the Blue Jackets is if they can get their offence going as they rank eighth in goals per game with a 3.38 average that will clash against the Jets second best defence with a 2.54 goals against average.
We shouldn't expect much fireworks in this one as the Jets have totaled under seven goals in six of their 11 home games this season. The Blue Jackets were blown out 6-2 in their last matchup against the Jets earlier this season and should be limited again by Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck, who has a 2.11 goals against average at home this season.
