Our last game of NHL predictions has the Winnipeg Jets going for the season sweep against the New Jersey Devils. Connor Hellebuyck is expected to get the start in the crease for Winnipeg, which is 5-3-2 in its last 10 games. However, the Jets have dropped their previous two games. Mark Scheifele leads the team in goals (25), assists (36), and points (61) for Winnipeg.

Jake Allen is the confirmed starter for the Devils, who are 5-5 in their previous 10 games. However, New Jersey is coming off a Sunday afternoon loss to the Seattle Kraken. Nico Hischier is first on the club in goals (16) and points (39) so far this campaign.

Both teams are trying to find consistency before the Olympic break. However, the Devils should pick up the victory.

Prediction: Devils win 3-2.
