Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: Will the hosts justify their status as favorites?

Prediction for the NHL Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks match, which will take place on March 7. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Winnipeg has been showing great hockey this season. The Jets were even leading the West for a while, but now they've lost momentum and have slipped to eighth place. In any case, they are in the playoff zone with 74 points, so they have little to fear. And the team is in fourth place in the Central Division standings. We should note that after a series of five defeats in a row, Winnipeg was able to draw a victory - with the score of 7:5 beat Edmonton.

San Jose looks bleak in comparison with Winnipeg. The Sharks haven't had a chance to make the playoffs for a long time, simply playing for fun. On the eve of the game, they are in 15th place in the Western Conference standings and last place in the Pacific Division with 48 points. It seems like the Sharks themselves don't believe in anything anymore - they have seven losses in their previous eight games and now have a streak of five straight. Last time, San Jose lost to Washington with a score of 3:8.

Unsurprisingly, bookmaker analysts consider Winnipeg to be the favorite for the upcoming matchup. The difference between the Jets and the Sharks is out of the question. The home team beat Edmonton (7:5) after five straight defeats, which will put them on fire. The same can't be said for the visitors, who no longer seem to believe in themselves - they're mentally preparing for next season. We suggest betting on a Winnipeg win.
