1* play on the Boston Bruins...
The Winnipeg Jets are coming into this contest in good spirits as they're looking to conclude this road trip with a third consecutive win. The Boston Bruins are in quite the opposite position, trying to avoid three home losses in a row before traveling to Anaheim Monday. The Bruins have dominated the Jets over recent seasons though, especially in Boston, and I think they'll prove to be too strong for the visitors.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Goaltending - The Bruins Vezina Trophy winner Tuuka Rask started the season slow but is 2-1-1 with a 1.51 GAA over his last five starts. He's had the better of Jets over his career, going 8-4-0 behind a 1.98 GAA. Those are numbers Ondrej Pavelcec can only dream of, as he's 0-6-1 with a 4.00 GAA over eight starts in Boston.
2. Bad Match - The trips to Boston have not been a pleasant experience for Jets over recent seasons. They've lost 12 straight meetings at TD Garden winning only four of the last 22.
3. X-Factor - Winnipeg's road record might look impressive until you take a closer look. They've mostly been beating up on weaker teams, in fact, they've lost all of their last four on the road against a team with a winning record.
