Tonight the depleted Winnipeg Jets take on the Colorado Avalanche for a divisional showdown. The Jets are coming off a two game winning steak with wins over the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators on back to back nights. Despite this, the Jets had to call up Patrice Cormier and JC Lipon to the team after sending Drew Stafford and Adam Lowry to the IR.The Jets are winless against the Avalanche this year, but Paul Maurice has been proud of the team's performance in both games. Do they pull out a win tonight and make the coach extra proud?
On the trade front, the Washington Capitals are "all in" and want Dustin Byfuglien. Keep your eyes peeled.
You can catch the game tonight on TSN3 at 7PM.
