The other stops on the trip have the Jets in Nashville (tied for top spot in the Central), Boston (who are 8-2-0 in their last 10), and Pittsburgh - also 8-2-0 in their last 10.
"It's a chance to see where we're at and we need to get some wins here. So it's a big trip for us," said Josh Morrissey. "I think everyone's just excited to get into a normal schedule and play against some of the best teams in the league."
Winnipeg has played just once in the last 11 days, which was the 3-0 win over Detroit four days ago.
It's impossible to replicate game pace and intensity in practice, but the Jets have tried their best. They've even started playing 3-on-3 games at the end of each skate.
The group started out small, but now the majority of the players take part.
"It's a great game to obviously have to make little plays in small areas and think on your feet with players coming at you either offensively or defensively," said Morrissey. "I play a lot of it in the summer time and it is kind of fun to be competitive with the other guys and have something on the line and I think it helps us stay sharp a little bit and it's been a good opportunity to be able to do that with the extra rest we've had for sure."
It's hopeful that the last four days has been the last run of practice the Jets will see this season - at least, a run of numerous days of practice with no games.
It was beneficial to a point, but now it's time to get back to the regular intensity of the NHL schedule.
"Practicing is great but playing the game is what we all love," said Dubois. "To be able to get back on the road and have a normal schedule, like JMo said, is going to be really fun for us."
Especially when your schedule revolves around game days.
"Honestly, I don't even know what day of the week it is like 90 per cent of the time. For me, it's just, is it a game day? Is it not? Do we have an off day? Stuff like that," said Dubois. "So, I didn't even know it's Monday today. But there's a lot of things to look forward to."
