The Winnipeg Jets have had success against Vegas in the past, but the playoffs are a completely different animal, and this franchise has made quick exits a habit over the last several years. At some point, the Jets need to prove they can hang on the big stage. The Vegas Golden Knights have played some of their best hockey over the last month or so, and they’re a nightmare at home when playing well. Cheap price. It’s hard to turn down the Golden Knights in this spot.
