The Winnipeg Jets (20-9) welcome the Boston Bruins (15-11-3) to Canada Life Centre on Tuesday night in what promises to be a compelling matchup between two of the NHL's hottest teams.
The Jets have established themselves as one of the league's most formidable teams this season, boasting the NHL's fourth-best goals-against average (2.59) and fifth-best scoring offense (3.55 goals per game), while the Bruins enter on a four-game winning streak despite offensive challenges.
Connor Hellebuyck has been stellar for Winnipeg with a .925 save percentage and 2.14 goals-against average, while Boston's David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand have combined for 20 goals and 28 assists to lead their attack.
The historical edge belongs to Boston, who have won seven of the last ten meetings between these teams, though the Jets' impressive 9-3 home record this season suggests they're ready for the challenge.
Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele have been driving the Jets' offense with a combined 29 goals and 30 assists, setting up what could be an epic battle between two teams with contrasting styles.
As these Eastern and Western Conference powerhouses prepare to face off, both teams' recent momentum and defensive prowess suggest this matchup could have significant implications for their respective divisional races.
