In Round 1, the Winnipeg Jets (+600) showed that old time hockey is alive and well. Led by Dustin Byfuglien, the Jets used brute force and sound defensive play to overwhelm the Minnesota Wild offense and dominated in all areas of the ice. This Friday the Winnipeg Jets will kick off their next series against the top team during the regular season. Though the Nashville Predators (+400) came away victorious over the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 in their quarterfinal matchup, the Aves were a surprising challenge for the heavily favoured Preds. Winnipeg presents new challenges for Nashville. They’ll need more than third liners Colton Sissons and Austin Watson. The duo led the team in points in the First Round. More players need to show up against the Jets.Western Conference Betting Trends
