The Jets are entering this game with 73 points, a 35-14-3 record overall, and they are 15-9-0 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

The Bruins are entering this game with 56 points, a 25-21-6 record overall, and they are 16-7-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Buffalo Sabres in their last game, losing that one on the road 7-2. Mason Lohrei and Brad Marchand each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Elias Lindholm and David Pastrňák each led the team in assists with 1 while Brad Marchand and Nikita Zadorov each led the team in shots on net in that game with 4.

The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-14-3 record overall which has them leading their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have been a good road team too with their 15-9-0 road record. Meanwhile, the Bruins have looked good in their games this season with their 25-21-6 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the East, but they have also been a really up and down team this year. They have looked a lot better on home ice with their 16-7-3 home record, but they are coming off a bad loss in their last one and haven't looked good lately. They are coming off a 7-2 loss on the road against the Sabres and will be looking to bounce back, but they are only 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. They have already fired their head coach this season too so this isn't the same team that has been a force in the East over the last few years. The Jets are coming into this one really hot with their 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games. They are also coming off a 4-1 win over the Canadiens in their last one and they have one of the best defenses in the NHL too. Giving up goals has been a big issue for the Bruins this year, giving up 7 goals in their last game too, and as good as they have been on home ice this year, they haven't been that consistent so the Jets will be able to tale advantage of that. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.

“We’ve talked about it in the past. When we’re on our game, our forecheck is one of our strengths. We hem teams in, we get in and turn pucks over and that was a great example, Gus just to run that one down, and obviously KC with that shot. That’s a tough one for them with 1.5 seconds left, big one for us.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s win against the Canadiens in their game on Tuesday.

“It wasn’t a very good game here tonight.” - Joe Sacco after his team’s loss against the Sabres in their game on Tuesday.
