Winnipeg jets concluded their three-game road trips on the west coast with a record of 2-1-0, breaking the Seattle Kraken and the Edmonton Oilers in overtime and will return home to face the Buffalo.
Connor Hellebuyck and the jets have reached impressive milestones Thursday against the Oilers, Hellebuyck reaching 40 victories and the jets reaching the 100 points the same evening as the Washington Capitals.
The jets are second in the NHL, dragging the capital by two points. More importantly, they have an eight -point lead on the Dallas stars For the division and the head of the conference.
The sabers are at the opposite end of the classification, seated in 29th place in the NHL. Although they align a lot of young talents, they did not find any ways to translate it into full hockey, and that is why it has become another lost season.
The talent on their list includes Tagus Thompson, Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power and JJ Peterka, who are all able to take control of games if the jets do not come out with the right intensity.
The jets and the sabers met once this season, which was a match ended in overtime. Adam Lowry scored the match winner that night, ending a skipping of four games. The jets enter this evening’s match with more confidence than in their previous meeting, but they could enter the game by playing a better hockey.
They recently grinned by victories due to an incoherent defensive game and a striated attack. If they can start these aspects, they will come back to their dominant self.
