Utah vs Winnipeg Stats
Utah Jazz
Thursday's games have been left out of the analysis, with the Utah Hockey Club heading to Minnesota to kick off a three-game road trip against the Wild. Utah was aiming for their third consecutive win, following victories over the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets. Connor Ingram, with a record of 8-5-3 and a 3.29 GAA, is set to face the Jets on Friday after an impressive performance against them earlier in the week. Key players like Dylan Guenther and Robert Bortuzzo are out due to injury, while Mikhail Sergachev's availability for Thursday's game was uncertain. Utah currently holds a power ranking of 13, with an offense ranked 22nd and a defense ranked 18th, boasting a season record of 20-19-7.
Winnipeg Jets Analysis
The Winnipeg Jets showcased a strong comeback from their previous defeat, defeating the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in overtime as road underdogs. Connor Hellebuyck had an impressive performance with 25 saves, while Morgan Barron, Gabriel Vilardi, and Neal Pionk scored goals. Hellebuyck's current stats for the season are outstanding with a 2.02 GAA and .927 save percentage. The Jets have a solid defense, allowing just 2.45 goals per game, and a strong offense, scoring 3.47 goals per game. Despite missing winger Adam Lowry, the team is ready to continue their successful season. With a power ranking of 2 and impressive statistics, the Jets are a force to be reckoned with in the NHL.
Jets Seek Redemption Against Hockey Club After Tough Road Game Victory
It is anticipated that the Jets will seek retaliation for Monday's defeat when they face the Hockey Club. The team will be contending with fatigue from playing consecutive games, following a challenging road game against the Wild. Despite the tough competition, the Jets are currently leading the Western Conference and recently defeated the Avs, who are considered a more potent offensive team. The defense will likely show improvement in front of their home crowd, even if Eric Comrie is given the starting position. With a track record of winning three out of their last four home games, the Jets look to replicate their success from November when they shut out the Hockey Club 3-0 at Canada Life Centre, limiting their opponents to just 21 shots on goal.
