The Winnipeg Jets look to keep up their good run of play and keep pace with the Western Conference Wild Card leaders when they host the Ottawa Senators tonight at the Canada Life Centre. The opening puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. central time.

The Jets have been playing some good hockey as of late. Over their past five games, they have posted a 4-1-0 record, including shutting out the Vegas Golden Knights their last time in action on Tuesday night. You can read our site’s recap of the game by clicking the link here.
