The Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Jets Phoenix Coyotes Arizona Coyotes meet this afternoon in a matinee at Bell MTS Place.

The Jets have been dominant at home for the past year and a half. Since March 2017, their record is 41-7-3 in the friendly confines of home. Today they play an Arizona Coyotes team that is far from good, sitting at 2-4-0. The Yotes are coming off of a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawk on Thursday, and a win today would mean their first consecutive wins in October in three years.

Laurent Brossoit tends the nets for Winnipeg, with the underrated Antti Raanta standing on the other side.
