There's no urgency for Anaheim in this one, up 3-0. They really haven't dominated, either, with the Winnipeg Jets losing the first three games 4-2, 2-1 and 5-4. In fact, Winnipeg entered the third period with a lead in each of the first three games of their Western Conference first-round series, but were unable to hold it. So this is a must-win game and the MTS Centre will be rocking as the city of Winnipeg hosts its first playoff series since 1996. This Winnipeg team is very good and balanced at #16 in the NHL in goals scored, #10 in goals allowed, and #13 in penalty killing. The Jets are 11-5 in their last 16 home games. Anaheim is a long way from home ranked #20 in the NHL in goals allowed. Meanwhile the Jets are 6-3 in their last nine home games, so grab the hungry home squad in a series that has been a lot closer than many think. Play on Winnipeg.
