STATE OF THE PACIFIC
The Golden Knights' lead in the Pacific has shrunk to just two points as their 82 points rank just ahead of the Edmonton Oilers (80 points). The Calgary Flames (77 points) have leapfrogged the Vancouver Canucks (74 points) and the Arizona Coyotes (74 points) for third place in the division.
OPPOSITION UPDATE
Winnipeg is one of four teams with 74 points in the Pacific Division, but they sit out of playoff position as of Friday morning. The Jets are coming off a 3-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.
Mark Scheifele leads the club in scoring with 71 points (28G, 43A) with Kyle Connor just behind him at 70 points (35G, 35A). Captain Blake Wheeler has put up 61 points (21G, 40A) in 68 games.
KEYS TO THE GAME
Clear Fleury's Crease: The Jets are notorious for getting bodies to the net to make life difficult on opposing goalies. The Golden Knights will look to give Marc-Andre Fleury clear sightlines and prevent second-chance opportunities.
Clean First Period: A solid start will be clutch for the Golden Knights as they try to establish their rhythm against a tough opponent.
