Fresh off splitting a weekend set of games with the Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild, the Ottawa Senators are in Winnipeg tonight to face the Jets. Winnipeg’s 20-10-1 record qualifies as one of the biggest surprises of this first part of the season, and they’re not to be under-estimated.

Game Notes:

• The Sens should come into this game feeling pretty good having split their back-to-back over the weekend considering the number of key- and role-players missing from their lineup (Jacob Bernard-Docker, Mathieu Joseph, Josh Norris, Tim Stützle, and Artem Zub).
• The Jets, meanwhile lost their Sunday matchup against Seattle but, like Ottawa, have six wins in their last ten and a litany of injuries as well (Mason Appleton, Nikolaj Ehlers, Ville Heinola, Saku Maenalanen, Nate Schmidt, Logan Stanley, and Blake Wheeler).
