Troubled Jets face slick opponents: Oilers

Connor Hellebuyck gets the starting assignment in the Winnipeg net tonight as the struggling Jets host the lethal Edmonton Oilers.

Game time is 6 p.m. at Bell MTS Place.

It's Hellebuyck's third consecutive start as the Jets (4-5-0) try to snap a three-game losing skid against the high-flying duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and the rest of the Oilers (7-1-0).

McDavid is tied with Washington Capitals blue-liner John Carlson for the NHL's list of scoring leaders (17 points), while Draisaitl is just one back. Zach Kassian rounds out Edmonton's top forward line.
