The Winnipeg Jets are back on home ice after their three-game California road trip as they host the Dallas Stars at the Canada Life Centre. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. central time.
The past week on the road was extremely successful for the Jets. Winnipeg left Calfornia picking up five of six available points. Last time out, on Saturday, the Jets lost in overtime, 2-1, to the Sharks.
Contrary to Winnipeg, the Stars have not been playing the best as of late. Dallas is currently on a three-game losing streak. In their last game, the Stars lost to the Senators 4-1 in Dallas.
