Winnipeg is the better team overall in this matchup, with a solid defense and outstanding goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck. They have the momentum at home, and while Edmonton has one of the league’s best offenses, their road struggles and defensive inconsistencies make it tough for them to keep up. Winnipeg should continue their hot streak and win this one by at least two goals.
