The Winnipeg Jets (26-10-1) will host the Nashville Predators (11-18-7) at Canada Life Centre on Monday night in what promises to be an intriguing Central Division matchup.
The Jets enter the contest riding high on a three-game winning streak and boasting the best record in the Central Division, having scored 14 goals in their last three games while allowing just four.
Led by the dynamic duo of Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, who have combined for 44 goals and 49 assists this season, Winnipeg's offense has been firing on all cylinders, averaging an impressive 3.70 goals per game.
The Predators, despite winning three of their last four meetings against the Jets, have struggled this season, particularly on the road where they hold a concerning 3-11-4 record.
The contrast between these teams extends to their defensive performances, with Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck posting stellar numbers including a .928 save percentage, while Nashville has allowed 3.17 goals per game despite Juuse Saros's best efforts.
As these Central Division rivals prepare to face off, the question remains whether Nashville can overcome their road woes and challenge the Jets' impressive home record of 13-3-1, or if Winnipeg will continue their dominant form in front of their home crowd.
