Who’s hot, who’s not…

Winnipeg Jets goal scorer, Patrik Laine is unstoppable right now, with 21 goals in 24 games. Laine has an outstanding 13 goals in the last six matches, and isn’t looking to be slowing down whatsoever. Laine has found the back of the net and is carrying the Jets to wins. Like I mentioned in a previous article, he is technically on pace for 70+ goals. There’s a good chance that won’t last, but he’s tearing it up right now so watch out for him

Nikolaj Ehlers also came away from the game against Chicago with a hat trick. Look for him to start making a bigger difference in our lineup, as he’s been racking up a nice amount of points in the past few matches.

The Jets also have a few “cold” players at the moment. Connor Hellebuyck has been struggling, as an old habit of allowing weak goals has crept back into his game. This was something Connor had eliminated last season, making him one of the most stellar goalies in the entire league.

The Winnipeg Jets also are expected to scratch Nic Petan. Petan has struggled to produce on the Winnipeg Jets fourth line, with only one assist in his eleven games played.
