Game Day Thread: Winnipeg Jets vs. Anaheim Ducks

The Winnipeg Jets (15--9-6) take on the Anaheim Ducks (20-6-5) this evening in Winnipeg. The Jets, fresh off of a 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche in Colorado, have gathered at least one point in eight straight games dating back to November 25.  The Ducks, led by Ryan Getzlaf's 31 points in 30 games, enter this contest having won six games in a row.

Two good teams.  Two hot teams.  This should be a good one.
