About the Jets
Fourteen home wins have put the Jets among the NHL’s best home teams. Now it’s time for the road Jets to get with the program, as nine of their 13 games in January are away from the MTS Centre… Once having played the most road games in the NHL, Winnipeg has played 17 (5-8-4) to this point, now among the fewest in the league… The Jets have won three in a row and four of the last five, including a Dec. 22 win over 4-0 over Montreal in Winnipeg… LW Evander Kane leads the team with 18 goals and 29 points, but RW Blake Wheeler, after a slow start, is hot on Kane’s heels with 28 points, seven during his current five-game points streak… Winnipeg will see the return of at least one of two centres tonight — Jim Slater is a go, but Bryan Little is a game-time decision.
About the Canadiens
Coming off a dismal stretch of seven losses in eight games, a run that has seen them fall eight points off the Eastern Conference playoff line, the Canadiens begin a stretch of six of seven games at home tonight… Montreal, 14-18-7 overall, is 5-7-6 at home so far this season, but it doesn’t seem to have had any immediate effect on a string of 310 straight sellouts dating back to January 2004… The Habs were 4-7-3 in December and haven’t had a winning month yet this season… With a power play that is 29th overall, Montreal has at least one happy note — a penalty-killing unit thriving in the NHL’s top two.
