Winnipeg Jets vs. Buffalo Sabres preview

The red-hot Winnipeg Jets welcome the struggling Buffalo Sabres to Canada Life Centre for what's shaping up to be a classic clash of offensive firepower versus defensive prowess.

The Jets have been absolutely dominant at home, winning seven of their last eight, while riding the stellar performance of Connor Hellebuyck who's been a brick wall between the pipes with a league-leading 2.06 GAA.

Buffalo's dynamic duo of Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka have been lighting up the scoreboard, combining for 54 goals this season, but they'll face their toughest test yet against Winnipeg's league-best defense.

Kyle Connor's been on another level for the Jets, racking up 86 points through a mix of silky playmaking and clinical finishing that's kept opposing defenders guessing all season.

The Sabres' road woes continue to haunt them - they've dropped six of their last seven away games and their penalty kill unit's been a particular sore spot, ranking 22nd in the league.

These teams have quite the history, with Winnipeg holding a 7-3-0 edge in their last 10 meetings, including a win in their only matchup this season.

The Jets' special teams could be the difference-maker here - they're converting a league-best 30% of their power play opportunities, which spells trouble for Buffalo's struggling penalty kill.

With the Jets tied for the league's best record and showing no signs of slowing down, this Sunday afternoon showdown at Canada Life Centre promises to be a compelling test of Buffalo's resilience against one of hockey's most complete teams.
