Los Angeles Kings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/09/26

The Winnipeg Jets will host the Los Angeles Kings on the second half of a back-to-back on Friday night. The Kings come into this game not playing their best hockey, as they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games played. With the Jets playing on Thursday, Connor Hellebuyck got the start. With this being their second game in consecutive days, backup Eric Comrie will get the start. He has been brutal this season, with a 3.49 GAA and .880 SVP. He has not allowed fewer than 4 goals in each of his last 4 starts. Despite being one of the weaker offensive teams in the league, the Kings should still be able to get a few passed Comrie.

On the other end of things, the Kings are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They are 4th in the NHL, averaging 2.67 goals against per game. The Kings are a much better team when they are playing on the road compared to at home. They have an 11-5-5 record when they are away from Crypto.com Arena. Give me the Kings in this one.
