For the first time this season, the Winnipeg Jets are facing an opponent that they have already seen. They are on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team they were able to get a 7-4 win against just over a week ago.

Thursday at Amalie Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NHL odds around the Jets vs. Lightning odds

The Tampa Bay Lightning have a tough challenge ahead of them. Things have not been great for the Tampa Bay Lightning lately. They are currently sporting a four-game losing streak and are now aiming to get things back on track. However, when looking at the Lightning's upcoming schedule, it certainly is not going to be easy.

The Lightning are one of the toughest defensive units in the NHL this season, conceding 44 goals (3.1 per game) to rank 10th. With 22 points, on 11 goals and 11 assists (all team highs), Kucherov is leading the way for Tampa Bay this season.

The Winnipeg Jets are the first NHL team to earn 15 wins in their first 16 games as their focused group continues to preach a “one game at a time” mantra.

The Jets (15-1-0) are coming off a 6-3 victory in New York against the Rangers on Tuesday, and were also victorious in the first meeting of the season with the Lightning back on November 3. In that contest, a 7-4 final score, Mark Scheifele, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Nikolaj Ehlers all posted two-point performances.

The Tampa Bay Lightning host the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, November 14 at Amalie Arena and the NHL odds have the home team as a -119 favorite. Winnipeg leads the league with a nearly perfect 15-1 record, and my Jets vs. Lightning predictions believe that this domination will continue tonight.
