The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 30-11-5 record overall which has them in 1st place of their division in the West and is also one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have looked great on home ice too with their 16-6-2 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Leafs have also looked good in their games this season with their 24-14-8 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the East and fighting for a Wild Card spot right now. The Leafs will be looking to climb back into a top 3 spot in their division but they haven't looked as good in their road games with their 13-5-6 road record. They haven't been bad in their road games as they are still a good road team, but they also beat the Jets in their last game in a very close 1-0 game that went to OT in Toronto. Now the Jets have the home advantage here and have been the more successful team in the NHL all season while also being the hotter team coming into this one as they are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. The Jets will be looking to get that loss back from the other night in Toronto and they will be motivated to bring their best effort for this revenge win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.
