Winnipeg's players will be glad to have Brandon Tanev and Luke Schenn, even as Jets management set its sights higher and missed.
BOTTOM LINE: The New Jersey Devils take on the Winnipeg Jets in a non-conference matchup. New Jersey is 15-10-4 at home and 33-24-6 overall. The Devils are ninth in NHL play serving 9.0 penalty minutes per game.
The Devils will be without Dougie Hamilton on Friday night against the Jets as he deals with a lower-body injury.
There’s no better goaltender in the league than Connor Hellebuyck, and we anticipate Winnipeg's star netminder to continue his elite play against New Jersey.
