<p>The Winnipeg Jets are playing the late game tonight in LA to take on the Kings. The Jets are looking to get another winning streak going they won their last game 4-1 on Monday night against the Minnesota Wild. With that win Connor Hellebuyck would be the fourth goaltender in NHL history to win 15 games of his first 17 games in a season. As well, Alex Iafallo would score his 100th NHL career goal.</p>
<p>The LA Kings are coming off a 7-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. Former Jets goaltender David Rittich would give up seven goals on 21 shots in that game. LA is currently holding onto the first wild card playoff spot in the West. The Jets are still four points up on the second place New Jersey Devils with two games in hand.</p>
<p>Big note for the Kings their starter Darcy Kuemper would be put on the injured reserve on November 15th and unless Kings prospect goaltender Erik Portillo wants his rookie start against the league leading Jets I&#8217;m sure we will see big save Dave in net for the Kings. Prior to the 7 goal game against Rittch he had only allowed six goals against in his previous three starts. He <span class="my-[1em] [&amp;&gt;a]:underline [&amp;&gt;a]:text-team-secondary whitespace-pre-wrap text-pretty"> is 3-1-1 in 7 games with a goals against average of 2.13 and a save percentage of .934 against the Jets in his career. The Kings are 5-5-0 in their last ten.<br />

<p>Connor Hellebuyck<span class="my-[1em] [&amp;&gt;a]:underline [&amp;&gt;a]:text-team-secondary whitespace-pre-wrap text-pretty">has a 6-7-1 record in 14 games with a goals against average of 3.21 and a save percentage of .902 versus the Kings in his career. The two time Vezina winner is still looking for his 1st shutout against the Kings.<br />

The Kings are scoring an average of 2.95 goals a game, where as the the Jets are leading the NHL averaging 4.05 goals a game.
