The Winnipeg Jets have entered the third period with a lead in each of the first two games of their Western Conference first-round series, but they've been unable to hold it, down 0-2. So this is a must-win game and the MTS Centre will be rocking as the city of Winnipeg hosts its first playoff game since 1996. This Winnipeg team is very good and balanced, #16 in the NHL in goals scored, #10 in goals allowed, and #13 in penalty killing. The Jets are 7-3 playing on one days rest, plus 9-2 after scoring 2 or fewer goals n their previous game. Anaheim heads out on the road ranked #20 in the NHL in goals allowed and no urgency in this one. Meanwhile the Jets are 6-2 in their last eight home games, so grab the hungry home squad. Play Winnipeg.
