Winnipeg Jets vs. New Jersey Devils preview
The Winnipeg Jets are set to host the New Jersey Devils in what promises to be a defensive showdown at Canada Life Centre.
Both squads have been impressive this season, with the Jets already clinching a playoff spot and boasting the best record in the Western Conference.
Keep an eye on Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, who've been lighting up the scoreboard for Winnipeg with a combined 72 goals and 92 assists.
The Devils' offense has struggled a bit, but their rock-solid defense, allowing just 2.62 goals per game, could make this a tight contest.
Goaltending might be the deciding factor, with Connor Hellebuyck's stellar .924 save percentage for the Jets going up against Jake Allen's respectable .912 for the Devils.
While the Jets have the home-ice advantage, don't count out the Devils' top-heavy offense led by Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt, who could break through at any moment.
With both teams known for their defensive prowess, fans might be in for a nail-biting, low-scoring affair that could come down to the wire.
