Last season, the Jets finished the regular season in second place, demonstrating consistent performance throughout the year. However, their preseason play has been somewhat inconsistent. Recently, the team achieved a resounding victory against Edmonton at home (6-1), but struggled in their away match against Minnesota, allowing eight goals and losing 5-8. In that game, Winnipeg had a particularly rough second period, losing it 1-7.

2.80Tip and bets
We believe that the Flames will continue their winning streak. They have shown a more exciting performance compared to the Jets. While Winnipeg has displayed decent offensive play, they have struggled significantly on defense. Additionally, previous matchups between these teams have often favored Calgary. Given that the hosts have not performed well in preseason games, we recommend betting on a Flames victory.
Prediction - Calgary to win with a handicap (0) at 2.20
Total Bets
Matches between these teams are often high-scoring, featuring more than six goals. The Calgary Flames consistently play an open style of hockey, which means they aren't afraid to concede extra goals. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets have also shown a lack of defensive discipline in their recent games.
