KEYS TO THE GAME
Road success:Vegas is one of the top teams in the league when they play on the road with a 12-2-1 mark. Winnipeg will be a tough test, but getting two points out of both road games will be a step in the right direction to get the group back on track.
Power play:The Jets' penalty kill is ranked fourth in the league at 83.6%. The Golden Knights have struggled to get the power play where it needs to be, so playing strong with the man advantage is key to getting the best of the Jets' impressive penalty kill.
