Once again we should expect to see Connor Hellebuyck in the crease. With a win against Edmonton on Wednesday, he improved his record to 19-4-5. I expect another solid performance out of him tonight, and I think it’s a game where he’s capable of putting up a shutout.
Jaroslav Halak will likely be in net tonight. Halak is 11-8-2. He has a 2.96 GAA, and a save percentage of .908. Halak has yet to have a shutout this season.
Injuries
Tonight will be the first game without Mark Scheifele in the Winnipeg Jets lineup, as he’s out for 6-8 weeks.
