Winnipeg Jets will kick off their 2026-27 NHL season with an exciting game against Boston Bruins on Friday night at Canada Life Centre. The Jets made a raft of changes during the offseason, with Connor Hellebuyck set to stake his claim on the No. 1 spot tonight. He featured in 57 games last year, averaging 2.86 goals against in 57 games. The Jets will also want to prove that they can compete this season after going 1-3 during the preseason. They’re the -135 betting favorites tonight.
Boston Bruins, on the other side of the ice, will be keen to get their second win after defeating New York Rangers 3-0 on Tuesday at home. Fraser Minten, Mark Kastelic, and JJ Peterka all scored within 45 seconds late in the third to hand the hosts an opening-night win. Following this result, the Bruins have now won seven of their previous eight season-opening matches. They’ll be keen to impress on their first road trip this season.

Our Winnipeg Jets vs Boston Bruins Prediction
We’re backing Boston Bruins to win and build on their decisive 3-0 opening-day victory. They showcased their ability to maintain their defensive shape and maximize scoring opportunities. Scoring chances will definitely come along tonight for the visitors, considering the Jets allowed 11 goals during the 2027 preseason. However, Boston must watch out for Winnipeg’s aggressive offense. The hosts tallied 84 shots on goal during the preseason, suggesting a team that doesn’t hold back in attack. Still, Boston’s ability to shut out opposition attacks and execute offensively gives them an edge. Note that Boston went 2-0 in this series last season.
Our prediction for Winnipeg Jets vs Boston Bruins: Boston Bruins to win.
