The Winnipeg Jets are in the playoff hunt and are starting to play for seeding right now. However, the Jets are a team that is also looking to get the warmup games done against some of the weaker teams in the league and start to find what works best for their offense in this game here. Not to mention, when playing against a weak team like the Kings it allows the Jets to rest some of the players who have helped them reach the playoffs this year.

The Jets are heading into this game with Connor Hellebuyck being the main goalie for the Jets. Hellebuyck has been able to get a total of 30 wins on the season and has managed to get a 2.97 goal against average. Hellebuyck does have a 91% of the shots that have been sent his way saved. With the Kings they have struggled a lot on the year and have managed to squeeze out only 25 wins on the season. However, what is impressive is the fact the Kings have ended up getting to remain in playoff contention, even as they are the worst team in the Western Conference. The Kings are coming into this game with a 2 game losing streak so far.

The Kings have relied on Jonathan Quick to help them in getting the wins on the year. Quick has been able to get a total of 13 wins on the season, but has allowed 3.30 goals a game. Quick on the season has saved only 89.1% of the shots that have been sent his way.

The Kings have struggled and while the Jets have not clinched a playoff berth yet, they are definitely on the right path and that allows them to rest some of the stars. Look for the Kings to have problems defensively, though, and that will cost the Kings another game. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 4-2.
