The 30th and final NHL home opener of the season goes tonight at the MTS Centre.
The Calgary Flames visit the Jets for a 7 p.m. start and veteran Jets winger Mathieu Perreault said he never loses enthusiasm for home openers.
"Especially here in Winnipeg," Perreault said Thursday as the Jets come back from an opening four-game road trip with a 3-1 mark. "Last year's was amazing, all the blue lights going around. I know they'll come with something really nice this year.
"It's very exciting because this crowd gets really into it and we're off to a really good start to the year.
