GDT: Winnipeg Jets @ New York Rangers – 6:00 CST – Madison Square Garden

The Winnipeg Jets (4-5-1 again!!!) will play under the bright lights at MSG tonight as they take on the New York Rangers (5-4-0) in their third game of a four-game swing. A win tonight will ensure a minimum 5-points on the roadie, which would certainly be deemed a success, and would take the pressure off of their visit to the Madhouse on Madison in Chicago tomorrow in the back-to-back situation.

The game will be broadcast on Sportsnet West (MTS 171/1171, Shaw 47/223).

Players to Watch

Chris Thorburn and Tanner Glass, as the two former GST members take to the ice as foes and perhaps will fight to establish who's the worse fighter…

For real, though, lets go with Rick Nash and Mark Scheifele. One has scored a goal per game and one hasn't. I'm betting one of them lights the lamp tonight, and hopefully it's "Fefe" for a change.
