In tonight's action, the Winnipeg Jets take on the Carolina Hurricanes at Canada Life Centre at 6:30pm. The Jets are coming off of a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. Winnipeg now holds a record of 13-8-2, including 6-4-0 in their last ten games. Carolina is 14-8-1 on the season after a 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres two nights ago, and are 6-3-1 in their last ten games. Can Goal Perfetti continue his scoring? Will Kyle Connor take tips from the youngster? Do the Hurricanes blow into Winnipeg and come away with a win? Can @nobody imp0rtant continue to lead the Prediction Contest, or will somebody else catch him with a trifecta tonight? These questions and a few others probably won't be answered any time soon...
