The Kings have struggled quite a bit on the year so far and that shows up in the record. The Kings have a 3-5 record on the year and definitely will have some problems in getting the games locked down because of the poor defense they have. The Kings also have not really been able to play great on the power play this year and that will be a major issue as the season continues to drag on.

With the Kings the team has been able to score at a clip of 3 goals a game. The power play conversion for the Kings has been done at a clip of only 9.4% on the year. The Kings defense has given up 4 goals a game on the year, but has killed off only 71.4% of the penalties on the year.

Winnipeg is having a fairly disappointing season coming into this game compared to what they normally do. The Jets have ended up dropping to a five hundred record on the year and while that is not that bad this early in the year, it is going to be a major issue for the Jets who have been one of those teams that has been jumping out to a quick start in the past.

A lot of the problems for the Jets stems back to the poor offense which is scoring only 2.89 goals a game or the defense that is horrible this year giving up 3.67 goals a game. The Jets have scored on the power play at 20.7% on the year and the penalty kill is sitting at 56.3% on the year.

While the Jets are not playing that great on the year, the Jets are definitely going to have a good game here as the Kings are horrible on the year. Look for the Jets offense to really show up in this game and that will help them in getting the win here as they are able to finally score and do so at a level to make up for the shortcomings of the defense. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 4-2.
