The mumps ravaged Anaheim Ducks are coming to Winnipeg to play the injury ravaged Winnipeg Jets in a battle of who has the weirder set of ailments. Dustin Byfuglien remains on defence for the Jets and the defence continues to feature many bottom pairing guys. Time to see if they can withstand playing a good NHL team.

Who to Cheer
Well, cheer for everyone from the Winnipeg Jets, but cheer extra loud for Bryan Little, who scored a hat trick last game and allows us to stop having Eric Boulton be the answer to the question “who scored the last hat trick in Jets/Atlanta Thrashers history.
Who to Boo
The easy answer would have been Corey Perry, but he is hurt. Ilya Bryzgalov is not a Duck goalie yet. So, boo Ryan Getzlaf because he is from Regina.
Prediction
Jets win 8-5.
