The 27-12-2 Winnipeg Jets have lost three straight and their last two were at home against the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks. That shouldn’t happen. Tonight they will be extra motivated to get back on track when they host the 13-20-7 Nashville Predators. The Jets last faced the Preds at home on December 30th and they blanked them, 3-0. The Jets can score, that is a given, averaging 3.59 goals per game and even with their last two home losses they still boast a 14-4-2 record at Canada Life Centre. They will also have, in most probability, Connor Hellebuyck between the pipes and he has been outstanding. Helly is 24-6-2 with a GAA of only 2.09 and a .926 SV%, which doesn’t bode well for a Preds team that is averaging a league low 2.45 goals per game.
