The Winnipeg Jets (22-9-1) will look to extend their impressive run against the Anaheim Ducks (11-14-4) when they meet at Honda Center on Wednesday night, marking their first encounter of a three-game regular-season series.
The Jets enter the contest as one of the NHL's hottest teams, boasting the league's third-ranked offense with 3.66 goals per game and a formidable fourth-ranked defense allowing just 2.53 goals against.
The Ducks, coming off a momentum-building 4-3 overtime victory against Columbus that snapped a five-game losing streak, will aim to capitalize on the Jets playing their second game in as many nights.
While Winnipeg has dominated recent matchups between these teams, winning their last eight consecutive meetings, the back-to-back schedule could level the playing field.
The goaltending matchup will be crucial, with Eric Comrie expected to start for the Jets while the Ducks could counter with either John Gibson or Lukas Dostal, both of whom have shown solid form this season.
This Western Conference clash presents an intriguing test of endurance versus rest, as hockey fans await to see if the Jets can maintain their winning streak or if the Ducks can build on their recent success.
