Losing back-to-back games is simply something that does not befall the Winnipeg Jets, as the team has won their past five games coming off a loss. In those five outings, dating back to October 29, the Jets have outscored opponents 23-6. Can the Jets continue their resilient ways when they host the Vegas Golden Knights Friday?
The Jets will turn to goaltender Connor Hellebuyck in nets who will no doubt be looking for some revenge. The goalie had his worst outing of the season against the Knights when he allowed five goals and was pulled before the end of the second period on November 10.
The Knights explosive offense has hit a bit of a skid recently, notching just two goals in their past two games – both of which were losses. The Knights have tended to slump a bit on the road as well, averaging 3.0 gpg while traveling compared to 4.0 in Sin City.
