The Winnipeg Jets have won two straight games and six of the past nine. A key reason for the success is the line of Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers and rookie Patrik Laine, each with a three-game point streak. Ehlers has a three-game goal streak and four points during that stretch, and has 11 points, including eight goals, in the past eight games. Laine has two goals and four assists, and Scheifele has two goals and two assists. "When they're going really well, they're virtually unstoppable," captain Blake Wheeler said. "That puck seems to be on a string. They don't need many opportunities, they seem to make the other team pay for the opportunities they do generate, and they play with a lot of speed. That's kind of what we're going through with our whole team. If we can get those guys clicking like that all the time, the rest seems to fall in order." Defenseman Jacob Trouba has a five-game point streak (one goal, six assists, which includes a shorthanded assist). "[Trouba's] play tells you he deserves some power-play time now," coach Paul Maurice said. "He's played exceptionally well. That game in Florida (a 4-1 win against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday), he was outstanding." Goalie Connor Hellebuyck will start.
