The Jets also had much higher expectations this season but they can still make it work even though they are 11th in the West. The Jets have 7 point deficit to the Los Angeles Kings who are currently at the last place that leads to the playoffs. The Jets dominated the first game against Montreal this season winning 8-4 and they will score a lot in this one as well as the Canadiens allow 3.8 goals per game. Winnipeg’s chances for the playoffs are slim and this is a must-win game for them.
