The Winnipeg Jets (30-12-3) look to extend their impressive winning streak as they welcome the Seattle Kraken (19-23-3) to Canada Life Centre for Thursday night's highly anticipated matchup.
The Jets have been nothing short of dominant this season, leading the Central Division while boasting the NHL's stingiest defense, allowing just 2.42 goals per game behind Vezina Trophy candidate Connor Hellebuyck's outstanding .929 save percentage.
Seattle enters the contest facing significant challenges, having allowed eight goals in their last two games while struggling to find consistent offensive production beyond Jared McCann and Chandler Stephenson.
The contrast between these teams couldn't be more striking, with Winnipeg's high-powered offense averaging 3.60 goals per game while Seattle has managed just 2.91 goals per contest this season.
While the Jets appear to have all the momentum with nine goals in their last two victories, the Kraken's emerging goalkeeper Joey Daccord (.914 save percentage) could prove to be the x-factor in this matchup.
As these Western Conference rivals prepare to face off, all eyes will be on whether the Jets can maintain their commanding form or if the Kraken can orchestrate an upset on the road.
