The Minnesota Wild face the Winnipeg Jets with both teams having remarkable seasons. The Wild have a 36-21-7 record and are in second place in the Central Division while the Jets have a 36-25-3 record and are in third place in the division but are hoping to rebound after winning only two of their last 10 games. Both teams look to remain near the top of the division and the Western Conference and the upcoming game should be a great one.
The Wild are having a great season but hope their offense improves, scoring only 2.78 goals per game. Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Mats Zuccarello have scored 81 goals and 99 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only five skaters have 10 goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense is one of the best in the league, allowing only 2.62 goals per game. Jared Spurgeon and Jacob Middleton have combined for 9.6 defensive point shares and 269 blocked shots while Mathew Dumba and Jonathon Merrill have combined for 5.0 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Additionally, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has stepped up with a .905 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average on 1047 shots with 0.3 goals saved above average.
