Throughout the game, both these teams traded punches, with the winning blow coming with less than five minutes remaining in the third period.

Fun Jets Facts…

Entering tonight’s game, Winnipeg has allowed the third-most shots on net per game (33.2), including 33 shots during their previous game against Anaheim.
Given where the Jets sit in the Central Division, it’s surprising to read that their team is tied for the third-most losses (4) when they score first.
Coming into this game, captain @Blake Wheeler sits just two assists away from 400 for his career. The Jets’ captain is also just eight points away from tying forward @Ilya Kovalchuk for the most total points (615) in Thrashers/Jets history.

What We’re Saying…

The man-advantage has been a real struggle all season long as Winnipeg sits near the bottom of the league in terms of powerplay percentage. When digging into the numbers, Winnipeg is an interesting case. They generate shots fairly well (10th in league) but drop in terms of xGF (18th in league). The most interesting part is that even with the 18th most xGF, Winnipeg sits 22nd in actual goals with 14.
