The Winnipeg Jets host the Ottawa Senators tonight at Bell MTS Place in what will be the team’s sixth and second-last pre-season game.
And while Saturday’s match in Calgary against the Flames gives the Jets a final tuneup before the regular season gets underway next Wednesday, tonight's game could determine the fate of several forwards fighting for a job in the bottom six.
Ottawa is 3-1 in exhibition games and is expected to dress an experienced lineup against the 1-3-1 Jets, including forwards Kyle Turris, Bobby Ryan and Mark Stone. Defencemen Dion Phaneuf, Chris Wideman and Johnny Oduya are also expected to dress.
