Los Angeles Kings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 01/10/25

The Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings meet on Friday in the NHL as part of a 5-game slate. These Western Conference teams squared off once in November, when the Kings won 4-1. Now the Jets are looking to even the score. They currently hold the top spot in the Central Division by a small margin, while the Kings are within striking distance of the Pacific Division lead. These are a crucial 2 points to say the least, and I’m here with a Kings vs Jets predictions to break it down.

These are 2 very impressive teams that have combined for 51 wins in 80 games. Either team could truly take this one in what should feel like a playoff game, which is why my prediction focuses on the total. Goals have come easy for these teams this season, but defending has been even easier. The Jets are currently first in the NHL in goals-against average (2.29), while the Kings are third (2.37). This has clearly been a driving factor in both of their successful seasons so far. I see this style of play being the main focus for this game, making it a low-scoring finish. Goaltending has been incredible for each team, but the key to this success has been team efforts where all players on the ice are playing a role in defense. They both play a classic Western Conference style of play that involves toughness and physicality and generally keeps goals to a minimum. For this Kings vs Jets predictions, I’m backing the under.
