The Winnipeg Jets (40-17-5) head to Rogers Arena to take on the Vancouver Canucks (41-17-7). Both teams are having great year and sit at the top of their divisions.
Last month, these 2 teams faced off and the Jets won the game 4-2. Gabe Vilardi led the Jets with 2 goals and Mark Scheifele had a goal and 3 assists.
Winnipeg is having themselves a year. At one point, they were the best team in the league.
The Jets come into this game 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and won their last game. It was a shutout win over the Kraken. They’re a pretty good road team with a 19-9-3 record, so being in Vancouver shouldn’t matter.
Goalie Connor Hellebuyck is expected to be in net tonight. He has a 29-13-3 record with a 2.29 GAA and a lead leading .922 save percentage. Hellebuyck is putting on a Vezina type year to say the least.
Can the Canucks keep their 3-game winning streak alive?
Canucks Conor Garland celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal.
Vancouver comes in looking to extend their winning streak to 4 games. They’re 4-5-1 in their last 10 games, so they have finally heated up.
The Canucks are a good home team with a 20-6-3 record. Their offense is tops in the league with 3.52 goals per game (4th) with a shooting percentage of 12.4 (1st).
On defense, the Canucks rank in the top 10 of the league for goals and shots on goal allowed. They will need to be on the top of their game to slow down this Jets offense and protect their goalie.
Thatcher Demko is expected to get the starts tonight. He has a 33-13-2 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage. His 33 wins is tied for most in the league by a goalie.

We have the battle of the goalies on our hands. Both of these guys are going to be Vezina finalists and odds are – one of them is going to win.
The Canucks play a tight defense and will make adjustments after allowing 4 goals last game. Demko has been so good this year but is 2-2-1 in his last 5 home starts. They will need him on the top of his game to win this one.
Winnipeg also has a tight defense that did will in the 1st game. They as well will make adjustments after watching tape from the 1st game.
I really like the goalies in this game to take over after allowing so many goals last game. The total is low for a reason and it’s because of these 2 guys. I’m riding the under in this game at just about even money.
Expect a hard-fought matchup that will be uneventful!
