Key Storylines
Recent Form
Carolina is rolling, holding a 13–5–2 record and leading its division thanks to a high-octane offense. Their most recent game ended in a 4–3 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild, even though they dominated that game in terms of shot attempts. Winnipeg has won three of its last four and they are at home, where they’re tough to beat. The Jets’ home record is 6-3-0 and they will try to improve on that mark with a victory in this huge test.
Goaltending
Connor Hellebuyck continues to be the backbone of the Winnipeg defense. He has a 2.51 GAA, which is below his usual standards. That speaks to just how good Hellebuyck has been in recent years. Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov are sharing goaltending duties for Carolina. Kochetkov has been sharp when called upon, and he is likely to start here as well.
Key Skaters
- Sebastian Aho (CAR): Aho has 8 goals and 11 assists for 19 points this season. He leads the Canes in total points.
- Seth Jarvis (CAR): Jarvis has been a dynamic playmaker for the Hurricanes. He leads the team with 10 goals on the year and will try to add to that total here.
- Mark Scheifele (WPG): Scheifele’s two-way ability and scoring from dangerous areas are key for Winnipeg. He leads the Jets with 27 points and 11 goals.

Final Thoughts
I am going to take the WInnipeg Jets to win at home as a slight underdog. The Jets have won two-thirds of their games at home so far this season and they have a rest advantage by an extra day over the Hurricanes going into this matchup. Expect the Jets to look like the fresher team here and for them to get an important win on home ice.
