Tonight, the Winnipeg Jets take on a train wreck of a team in the New Jersey Devils. This is the first match kicking off of our three game road trip.

The Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils are set to duel it out tonight in New Jersey at 6:00 PM Central time. Winnipeg is coming off a tight win the other night, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 6-5. The Devils are currently on a four game losing streak, which they look to snap at home tonight.

The Jets currently sit eleventh in the league, while New Jersey is way back in the 28th spot. Both of these teams have faced ups and downs this season. Winnipeg has been battling inconsistent goaltending, while New Jersey has struggled to pick up wins on the road. The Devils home and away record are almost completely opposite, 7-1-3 at home, but only 2-10-1 on the road.

The Jets will see another player make his NHL debut. This time, Mason Appleton is lacing up the skates and will start on our fourth line alongside Brendan Lemieux and Jack Roslovic. Appleton has been one of the best players in the AHL, with 18 goals in 19 games. The former sixth round pick from Green Bay will be on the right wing.
