Winnipeg won the series 2-1.

Winnipeg Jets Form

The Jets are flying high after three consecutive victories against the Rangers, Stars and Kraken, leading the NHL on 98 points this season with a 47-17-4 record.

Defensively, there is no better team in the NHL with the Jets giving up just 2.28 goals per game this season. A lot of that has to do with the brick wall form of goaltender Connor Hellybuck who leads the NHL with a 1.99 goals against average and a .927 save percentage.

Offensively the Jets are also not far off the league best, scoring 3.37 goals per game, boasting the league’s best power play that is converting at 31% this season.

Winnipeg Jets Team News

No recent injury news for Winnipeg.

Vancouver Canucks Form

Vancouver are clinching onto the final Wild Card spot in the West, but only by a hair. Their early-season form has eluded them and they simply cannot find the consistency to go on a decent run.

After two victories over Calgary 4-3 (SO) and 6-2 against Chicago, the Canucks dropped the ball again, going down to Utah 3-1 two nights ago.

A positive is that Elias Petterson is starting to find some form after a largely underwhelming season to date, with the Swede registering a point in 4 consecutive games and 6 points total in that span.

Vancouver Canucks Team News

Filip Chytil is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
