Winnipeg Needs to Turn On the Jets

They are led by left-winger Kyle Connor this year who is tied for fifth in the sport in goals and tied for 14th in the NHL in points as he has posted 87 points (43 goals, 44 assists) with five points in as many games.

Rangers Playing Well With Their Young Guys
The New York Rangers have been one of the best teams in the NHL and a huge reason has been their defensive play, as they are allowing just 2.47 goals per game this year. Left-winger Artemi Panarin has been one of the best players in hockey as he is tied for third in assists and 11th in points, posted 90 points (22 goals, 68 assists) this season, and has put up 10 points (four goals, six assists) in eight April games thus far. If the offense can score enough to help take pressure off their defense, it will be a great sign.
