On Nov. 25, the Winnipeg Jets picked up their fourth loss in a row, falling 3-0 to the Columbus Blue Jackets.  In the last four games, they&#8217;ve scored a total of just four goals.
With both @Pierre-Luc Dubois and @Riley Nash making their returns to Columbus, I thought the Jets would have been fired up to beat the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, I was wrong and this team made me look silly on all accounts. On the night, I went 1-for-6 regarding my bets Tuesday evening.
Let&#8217;s see if this matinee game against the Minnesota Wild can turn around my luck while also helping the Jets return to the win column.
<h2>What You Need to Know About the Jets</h2>

Goaltender @Connor Hellebuyck will be starting in goal this afternoon. Despite losing his last three games, he&#8217;s still been fantastic this season, posting a 2.54 goals-against average and .921 save percentage.
Veteran @Paul Stastny could return from his eight-game absence during this contest against the Wild, although his status won&#8217;t be officially determined until the pre-game skate.
@Kyle Connor remains the Jets’ leader in scoring, with 12 goals and 22 points. On the other hand, @Andrew Copp leads the team with 11 assists.
On the season, the Jets are sixth in goals against, allowing 2.58 a game. Annoyingly, this club is tied with two other teams (New York Rangers and Seattle Kraken) at 16th in goals for, averaging 2.84 per game.
