Nashville Predators vs. Winnipeg Jets preview

The red-hot Winnipeg Jets (42-14-3) will look to extend their remarkable 11-game winning streak as they face off against the struggling Nashville Predators (20-30-7) at Bridgestone Arena in what promises to be a compelling Central Division matchup.

The Jets have been nothing short of dominant this season, boasting the NHL's best record while playing exceptional hockey on both ends of the ice, averaging 3.57 goals per game while allowing just 2.38 goals against.

Winnipeg's offensive firepower has been led by the dynamic trio of Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and Gabriel Vilardi, who have combined for an impressive 88 goals and 101 assists this season.

The Jets' defensive excellence has been anchored by Connor Hellebuyck, who is putting together an MVP-caliber season with a stellar .925 save percentage and 2.04 goals-against average.

On the other side, the Predators have struggled mightily, managing only two wins in their last ten games and averaging a mere 2.56 goals per game, with just three goals in their last three contests.

Nashville's offensive bright spots have been Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault, who have accounted for 39 goals and 59 assists, but the team has struggled to find consistent scoring beyond their top performers.

The Predators' defensive woes have been equally concerning, with goaltender Juuse Saros posting a .899 save percentage and allowing nine goals in the last two games.

With the Jets' balanced attack and suffocating defense going up against the Predators' struggling offense and porous defense, this matchup appears to heavily favor the visiting Jets, who will be looking to maintain their momentum in the Central Division race.

Hockey fans should keep an eye on Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk, who have been instrumental in the Jets' success from the blue line, contributing both offensively and defensively with a combined 16 goals and 67 assists this season.
