Minnesota at Winnipeg

Winnipeg has beaten the Wild seven times in a row, including 2-1 in overtime on Oct. 13 and 4-1 on Nov. 25. The Jets have won five of eight, although they look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Wednesday when they were outshot 31-23. Winnipeg is 22-5 in its past 27 games playing with two days rest, and Minnesota has lost four of five and is on a three-game losing streak while scoring only four goals in its past three games. The Wild also are playing a back-to-back after losing 2-1 to Utah last night. Jesper Wallstedt will make his second start for the Wild after allowing three goals in a 3-2 loss to Vegas last Sunday. Connor Hellebuyck is 20-5-1 with a 2.23 goals-against average for Winnipeg. Take the Jets.
