When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Lightning to come out with a win against the Jets while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -130, I’m placing my bet on the Lightning to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Lightning to secure the win and cover. Expect the Lightning to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Jets.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to remain below that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the under.
