Anaheim Ducks News & Notes:
The Anaheim Ducks roll into Canada Life Centre looking to get back into the win column after a 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night. Since making a couple of moves after the NHL Trade Deadline, Anaheim looks to cement themselves as the top team in the Pacific Division. Anaheim is 7-3-0 in their last 10 games played, and they’ll look to give the red-hot Jets team a run for their money.
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Winnipeg Jets aim to continue their point streak and their winning ways as they’re on a three-game win streak. The Jets are 5-2-3 in their last 10 games played, and they aim to pick up another key win against the Ducks tonight in their playoff pursuit. Winnipeg currently sits five points out of a wildcard spot, which is a considerable mark given the Jets were 11 points out of a playoff spot to start the break.

Players To Watch:
Anaheim Ducks
Cutter Gauthier aims to push the Anaheim Ducks toward another crucial win over the Winnipeg Jets as the team hunts for a stronger lead for first place in the Pacific Division.
Winnipeg Jets
Elias Salomonsson projects as a lock for the Winnipeg Jets’ second defensive pairing, and that was solidified after injuries unfortunately depleted the Jets’ defensive depth. He scored his first career NHL goal/point against Anaheim in the Jets’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks in late February. If Salomonsson can continue to find that success, he’ll be a big factor for the Jets and their hunt for a win over the Ducks tonight.
