Jets look to keep Canucks grounded

After grinding out a 2-0 victory in Friday night's opener, the visiting Winnipeg Jets will try and complete a sweep of their back-to-back with the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.

The Jets have dominated the series with the Canucks in recent years, winning 11 of the last 12 meetings including six in a row at Rogers Arena. Vancouver is just 2-15-0 in its last 17 games against Winnipeg, averaging just 1.47 goals per game while getting shut out five times. The Jets have averaged 3.24 goals over that same span.

The latest blanking came at the hands of Jets backup goaltender Laurent Brossoit who stopped 29 shots on Friday night for just his second career shutout, both of which have come at Rogers Arena.
