After having the past weekend off, the Winnipeg Jets are back in action tonight as they face off against the Ottawa Senators. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. central time.

Originally this game was scheduled for May 7 and the Jets were supposed to have an off day today while in the midst of a two-game series against the Canucks.

But, the Cancuks were forced to postpone their games with the Jets due to having 14 players on the COVID-19 protocol list. So the NHL rearranged the schedule and the Senators are in Winnipeg for just this lone game tonight. You can read more about the postponement and schedule change here.
