The Winnipeg Jets opened up their long road trip with an impressive performance against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, but have no time for rest as they are now in Tennessee for another game this evening.
The Nashville Predators were the darlings of the NHL’s off-season as they spent a boatload of money on free agents, however the plans have gone astray as the Preds find themselves sitting at the bottom of the standings with 6-11-3 record. The Winnipeg Jets were largely panned by the experts this summer as a franchise destined to take a step back, yet the True Northers have blasted out to a 17-3-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign.
Here is how PuckPedia is predicting Pittsburgh & Winnipeg to line up their players this evening:
While the stats heavily favour the Winnipeg Jets over the Nashville Predators this season, anything can happen when division rivals go toe-to-toe. So far this year, the Jets have 19 more team points than the Preds, have scored 38 more goals this season, and have allowed 17 less goals against. Pretty wide gaps between the squads’ performances to date.
Lets check out how the two franchises compare head-to-head based on this season’s stats and take a peek at ESPN’s review of the masked men:
Arctic Ice Hockey members were pretty hot with their predictions last game….the BOJA Boost paid off for Mark Scheifele & Kyle Connor, Padre hit paydirt on a bunch of prognostications including the final score, SaskatoonJet nailed his 3rd line prediction with the early Nino Niederreiter goal, and PembinaPuckHog correctly foresaw the end of Cole Perfetti’s four game pointless streak.
So lets hear what everyone thinks about Saturday night’s contest versus the Predators? Puck drops at 6 pm.
Go Winnipeg!!
