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.

The Winnipeg Jets look to keep their point streak alive as they begin their longest homestand of the season

The Jets come into this game on a six-game point streak which has propelled them to second place in the Central Division. This game also kicks off a seven-game homestand for the Jets where they will be in Winnipeg for the next two weeks.

Odds

Considering the Jets’ point streak and the fact that the Stars are on a losing streak, it should be no surprise that the Jets are the favorites.
