The Jets defence and goaltending has been the best in the NHL this season and they will hold Vancouver under 3 goals in this match, just as they have done in 5 of their last 7 matches against the Canucks. 

Vancouver is trying to find some consistency to hold their place in the playoff bracket, however, they have simply failed to do so with their offence misfiring, scoring just 2 goals or less in 3 of their last 5 matches. 

Expect Kyle Connor to fire up the Jets again, just as he did in Winnipeg’s first meeting with Vancouver this season where he totaled 4 points in the match with 3 goals and 1 assist. 

  • Winnipeg has won 6 of the last 7 matches against Vancouver
  • Winnipeg has covered the puck line in 6 of the last 7 matches against Vancouver.
  • Winnipeg has conceded 2 goals or less in 8 of their last 10 matches.
  • Kyle Connor had 3 goals and 1 assist last time the Jets faced the Canucks.

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.

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.

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