The Jets have high expectations this season and have been playing well especially at home where they've gone 13-3 the past 16 times.

Winnipeg is coming off its first shuout loss of the season, though, losing 4-0 at San Jose this past Saturday. The Jets had played well beating the Kings and Ducks on the road during their previous two games. But fatigue and a veteran Sharks team caught up to them. Even so, the Jets fired 38 shots. Outstanding goaltending by Martin Jones held hold off the Jets.

It has been 14 games since Winnipeg lost two in a row. The Jets can take advantage of a cold Devan Dubnyk or backup goalie Alex Stalock. Dubnyk is giving up an average of four goals a game during his last four games. The Wild looked bad in their last game, a 6-3 road loss to the Blues on Saturday. This marks the Wild's third game in four days and fourth in six days.
