About the Jets
Winnipeg is 5-4-1 in its last 10, but 4-1 in its last five at home… Winger Evander Kane has 10 points (7G, 3A) in his last eight games and is the team’s scoring leader with 19 points in 24 games… RW Blake Wheeler leads all Jets with a plus/minus rating of plus-6… Centre Bryan Little has nine points (5G, 4A) in his last eight games… Ondrej Pavelec’s shutout against the Coyotes was the eighth of his career. Kari Lehtonen is the franchise leader with 14… The Jets’ power play is especially potent at home, ranking fifth in the NHL heading into Friday night’s action, having scored 10 times on 44 chances… Winnipeg is 0-10-2 when trailing after two periods, 10-0-1 when leading after 40 minutes… Jim Slater will play his 394th game for the Thrashers/Jets franchise tonight, fourth all-time behind Ilya Kovalchuk (594), Vyacheslav Kozlov (537) and Patrik Stegan (414).
About the Devils
New Jersey had dropped two straight prior to Friday night’s game in Minnesota, including a 6-1 route by the Avalanche in Denver on Wednesday… The Devils are led by Patrik Elias (8G, 12A) and rookie Adam Henrique (5G, 10A heading into Friday night’s game) and those two were deadly in a 3-2 win over the Jets in Newark back on Nov. 5: Elias scoring once with Henrique firing the other two… All-time Thrashers/Jets scoring leader Ilya Kovalchuk (328 G, 615 points in 594 games in Atlanta) has just five goals in 18 games this season… The game against the Jets is the third of a four-game road trip for Jersey, which wraps up with a date in Toronto on Tuesday against the Leafs.
