The Carolina Hurricanes had lost six straight before breaking out of the funk with back-to-back triumphs over Philadelphia and New Jersey. Tough spot for the Canes here though, playing their third game in four nights and facing the Winnipeg Jets who have won six of their last eight games, including road wins at Dallas and St. Louis.

Hurricanes are 1-8 in their last nine in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and 5-13 in their last 18 vs. a team with a winning record. Jets are 7-2 in their last nine vs. a team with a losing record and 14-3 in their last 17 Sunday games.

My free pick is on Winnipeg Jets ML.
