Winnipeg vs Boston. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 17, 2023).

Winnipeg are currently in eighth place in the West with 79 points. The team has not been particularly consistent this season, but has done enough to remain in playoff contention. The Jets recently beat Florida (5-4 OT) and Tampa Bay (3-2) away, but suffered a 3-5 defeat to Carolina.

It is worth mentioning that the jets have a few injury concerns. For instance, the key attacking leaders Pierre-Luc Dubois and Josh Morrissey are sidelined through injuries, which means that the Jets won't be able to play at full strength.

Boston are nine points clear of their nearest pursuer as they confidently lead the Eastern Conference. However, the team dipped in form and lost two games in a row for the first time in a long time. After defeating Detroit (3-2) at home, they lost to the Red Wings (3-5) away, and then were crushed by Chicago (3-6).

Moreover, in matches against those relatively weak opponents, Montgomery's team allowed more than four goals. The Bruins, too, have certain losses in the lineup. For example, forwards Foligno and Hall are absent due to injuries.
