For the second time in just over a week, the Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights will face off at T-Mobile Arena tonight and when they do, it'll be a clash of two teams on a bit of a roll.
Both clubs have won three consecutive games, as the Jets look to end a three-game road trip with all six possible points after wins in Los Angeles and Arizona.
Each of the first two victories on the road trip have been in come back fashion, as the Jets (5-3-0) trailed the Kings and Coyotes by two goals at one point in each contest.
"We really don't want to keep doing it," associate coach Scott Arniel said after the win in Arizona. "But at the same time, in this league, if teams take your foot off the gas and we've got a team that can push and score goals, we can put ourselves in a situation where we can come back."

The Jets found themselves trailing the last time they were in Vegas, as they fell behind 4-0 after 20 minutes before ultimately falling by a score of 5-2 back on October 20.
Vegas (7-2-0) lost their next game (a 3-2 setback to Colorado) but has since triumphed over Toronto, San Jose, and Anaheim.
Neither team will hold a morning skate with the slightly earlier puck drop tonight (5 pm MT), so warm-up will be the best indication of whether Arniel and the coaching staff plan to make any line-up changes.
It's expected that Connor Hellebuyck will get the start in goal, after David Rittich backstopped the Jets to a 3-2 overtime win in Arizona on Friday with 19 saves on 21 shots.
It was Rittich's first regular season win in a Jets jersey.
"We got down two but he was rock solid, needed to be," Arniel said. "He was there when we needed him and it was so good to see him get his first win as a Winnipeg Jet."
In Hellebuyck's last start - which came on Thursday - he outduelled Jonathan Quick in Los Angeles with a 40-save performance.
In front of the Jets net, the big storyline will be whether Arniel keeps the lines as they were when they finished the game in Arizona, or if they revert back to how they were to start the game.
With the Jets looking for a spark at Mullett Arena, Arniel put Mark Scheifele - currently on a three-game goal streak - between Blake Wheeler and Cole Perfetti, with Pierre-Luc Dubois centering Kyle Connor and Mason Appleton.
A simple flip of the two centres seemed to be exactly what the Jets needed that night.
"We're pretty lucky to have the type of centre men we have," said Jets forward Blake Wheeler, who notched the overtime winner in Arizona. "You go from Dubie to Scheif, you feel pretty lucky in those situations. Every once in a while, if the game gets a little stale, need to score a goal, or get a little bit of life in the bench, those mix-ups are good. It was a good switch by him, it gave our team a little boost."
Along with the overtime winner, Wheeler also assisted on Mark Scheifele's third period goal to tie the game against the Coyotes.
He also factored in on Cole Perfetti's first period marker. Wheeler was the player to clear the puck from the Jets' end, which allowed Perfetti to get down the ice to pressure the Kings defence, ultimately leading to a crucial goal with 4:06 left in the opening period and the Jets down 2-0.
The goal was Perfetti's third of the season, and he now has six points in eight games this season. One of those points came in the first meeting with the Golden Knights.
Perfetti is hoping the Jets can get off to a better start tonight than they did the last time they were in Nevada.
"Coming into an away team's building, we know they are going to have a jump," he said. "We can have a better start, but that said, it shows a lot about our group and what we can do and how we don't give up on each other and how we don't give up on the game. Those are two massive wins for us."
Puck drop is set for 7 pm CT.
