The Winnipeg Jets take on the Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. Which team will come out on top?

It’s been a fun series so far between these two teams. The first three games have provided us with edge-of-your-seat entertainment. In Game 4 between the Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights, expect a high-scoring game with a lot intensity.

The Golden Knights continue to benefit from the play of Jonathan Marchessault, who has two goals so far in this series. The Jets will need to find a way to protect against him, and the Golden Knights offense as a whole because they have been tough.

Even though the Golden Knights have enjoyed their home-ice advantage , the Jets have been road warriors as of late. The Jets have won seven of their last 10 games on the road. They average at least four goals in those games. Vegas is going to have to find a way to keep its momentum going at home, because the Jets know how to take advantage of mistakes. The Jets have outscored opponents on the road 21-9 in their last seven games.

Expect outstanding goaltending from Marc-Andre Fleury, who is one of the best and most experienced goalies of the teams still left in the playoffs. The Jets will have to figure him out early.

Another key in this game will be who has the ability to score first. Both teams have good numbers when they score first.

The Jets on paper seem to have the advantage in this game. But as we know, the Golden Knights should not be taken lightly. Expect a back-and-forth scoring fest in this one.

Prediction: The Jets defeat the Golden Knights 5-3
