The Winnipeg Jets (22-9-1) head to SAP Center looking to continue their dominance over the San Jose Sharks (11-17-5) in what promises to be an intriguing Tuesday night matchup.
The Jets enter the contest riding high after back-to-back road victories, including an impressive 4-2 win against the Montreal Canadiens where Connor Hellebuyck maintained his stellar .926 save percentage for the season.
San Jose, despite their overall record, has shown remarkable resilience lately, winning five of their last ten games while averaging 3.5 goals per game.
Recent history favors Winnipeg, who have won three straight against the Sharks, including a commanding 8-3 victory in their last meeting.
The matchup presents an interesting contrast between the Jets' league-leading offense (117 goals) and the Sharks' improving defensive efforts, particularly at home where they've been more competitive.
As these Western Conference rivals prepare to face off, all eyes will be on key performers like Kyle Connor, who has notched 11 points in his last ten games, and the Sharks' emerging talent Macklin Celebrini, who leads his team with 13 points in the same span.
