Winnipeg vs Boston Prediction: the Bruins May Prove the Favorites' Status

Prediction for the NHL Winnipeg Jets vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on March 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Winnipeg

Winnipeg is actively fighting for the wild card at the end of the regular season. Currently, the Jets are still in eighth place in the West standings and fourth in the Central Division. They earned 79 points, so a playoff spot is a big question. After two losses, they managed to beat Florida (5-4) in overtime and Tampa Bay (3-2), but the day before lost to Carolina (3-5).

Boston

Boston is having a fantastic season. The Bruins lead the Eastern Conference and the Atlantic Division with 105 points. They already secured a playoff spot and broke the record of becoming the fastest team to gain 50 wins. However, after that historical victory over Detroit 3-2, the Bears suffered two defeats. First, they could not cope with the Red Wings in the second part of the back-to-back and then unexpectedly lost to Chicago (3-6).

Expect Betting Tips

• Boston had failed the previous two games.
• Three of the past four meetings with Winnipeg ended with a TO (5.5).

We won't risk picking any of these teams. Winnipeg desperately needs points - they were never promised a playoff spot yet. It wasn't that long ago that the Jets beat Florida and Tampa. However, Boston is a head above any rival in the NHL. They may not be as attuned to the upcoming game as they have been in the last two. Note that the previous fights with these rivals often impress us with scoring pucks - on them, we propose to bet.
