Pittsburgh Penguins vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. The Penguins still have not done enough to warrant taking them at even the slightest bit of plus money against a Jets team that remains one of the best teams in the NHL to this point even if they’ve taken a couple of losses here and there. The Jets should win this one rather comfortably so give me Winnipeg here.
