Winnipeg has plenty of offensive punch, unlike their opponent here, averaging 2.7 goals per game and #10 in the NHL. The Jets enter on a high note after Saturday's 4-1 win in San Jose. Drew Stafford had a short-handed goal and Mathieu Perreault scored on the power play to back Connor Hellebuyck's 27 saves. Anaheim is last in the league in scoring and #20 on the power play, off a 2-1 loss to Vancouver. They scored just three goals on their just concluded road trip and have netted a league-low 68 overall. The Ducks' slumping offense took another hit when Cam Fowler injured his knee against Philadelphia. The defenseman and power-play quarterback will miss at least three additional weeks with a Grade 2 sprain. The Ducks are 0-7 in the fourth game of a four-in-six situation, making this a great spot for the dog. Play Winnipeg.
