The Winnipeg Jets (27-11-1) look to continue their impressive run as they welcome the Anaheim Ducks (15-17-4) to Canada Life Centre for Thursday night's cross-conference matchup.
The Jets have been one of the NHL's most dominant teams this season, riding high with seven victories in their last ten games while boasting the Central Division's best record.
Led by Connor Hellebuyck's stellar goaltending (.930 save percentage) and a potent offense averaging 3.64 goals per game, Winnipeg has established themselves as a formidable force on both ends of the ice.
The Ducks arrive in Winnipeg having won their last two games, but their season-long offensive struggles (2.47 goals per game) present a significant challenge against the Jets' league-leading defense.
The contrast between these teams couldn't be more striking, with Winnipeg's balanced attack led by Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele (combining for 44 goals and 51 assists) facing off against a Ducks squad that has struggled to find consistent scoring beyond their top line.
As these teams prepare to face off at Canada Life Centre, all eyes will be on whether the surging Jets can maintain their momentum or if the Ducks can build upon their recent success and pull off an unexpected result in this intriguing NHL matchup.
