The Jets enter the contest riding high after consecutive victories over Minnesota and Toronto, with Mark Scheifele's recent hat trick highlighting their potent offense that leads the league with a 32.1% power play conversion rate.
Ottawa, despite having their six-game winning streak snapped by Edmonton, has demonstrated remarkable resilience this season behind Tim Stutzle's team-leading 39 points and Brady Tkachuk's 16 goals.
