The NHL always tends to have a team that comes flying out of the gate, only to level off soon after. Last year it was Colorado, and two years ago it was Chicago with their record streak. This year the Montreal Canadiens came out at 7-1, but things have not been quite so easy since as they are 3-4 in their last seven games. The big problem has become a stagnant offense, one that scored 25 times in their 7-1 start, but just 12 times in their last seven. Winnipeg started slow, but has shown to be an improving team that is also becoming confident. The proof is on the road where they are 4-1 in their last five. The Winnipeg defense has been a force, allowing just 8 goals in their last six games, and for a Montreal team struggling to produce goals this is a tough spot. The Jets' defensive momentum has them at 6-0 in their last six after allowing 2 or fewer goals in their previous game. All Winnipeg in this one.
