Winnipeg is near the top of the Central Division with a 5-3 record. If the Jets pull off a victory against the Vegas Golden Knights, they’ll find themselves in first place. 9 games into the season, that’d be quite the accomplishment, especially without Nikolaj Ehlers and Rick Bowness for most of it. Winnipeg is still ironing out the kinks with the shift towards Big Bones Hockey, but it’s shown some promising signs while Hellebuyck sorts out the rest. Can the Jets pull one more rabbit out of the hat and take revenge against the Knights?
