Jets Looking for Two Points when Playing Host to Kings
The Winnipeg Jets are trying to make a late run to the postseason, and they have an important home game on Saturday night. The Los Angeles Kings come to town, and the visitors are already comfortably in the playoff field.

Winnipeg had won three straight games before suffering a loss to the Maple Leafs. The Jets are currently in sixth place in the Central Division with 76 points.
The NHL betting lines for this game have the Winnipeg Jets as the moneyline betting favorites at -130.

LA Looking for More Scoring
The Los Angeles Kings might be headed for the NHL Playoffs, but it could be a short stay if they don’t find some more offense. Los Angeles is currently scoring just 2.8 goals per game, and they are allowing around that same number.
The overall statistics don’t look that great for the Kings, but Viktor Arvidsson summed up the play of the Kings after the most recent win. Arvidsson said, “The team doesn’t quit. It’s just who we are. It’s in our DNA. It’s a good quality to have this time of year.”
Special teams’ play has been a problem for the Kings at times as well. Los Angeles is scoring on the power play just 17% of the time and killing off just 76% of its penalties.
There are still some flaws for this Kings team, but they just seem to find a way to win games when needed.
Jets Can’t Find Consistency
The Winnipeg Jets have the ability to be a great offensive team, but they also struggle trying to stop their opponents. Winnipeg is scoring 3.04 goals per game, but opposing teams have scored that same number against them.
Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler have been the offensive leaders for the Jets, and they could give the Kings some trouble in this one. Connor leads the team with 41 goals, and Wheeler has dished out a team-high 42 assists to his teammates.
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has gone 25-23-9 in net so far for the Jets, and this team could use some more consistency from their netminder. The Jets will attempt to speed up the tempo in this matchup to allow them to create some breathing room.
Los Angeles Kings vs. Winnipeg Jets Head-to-Head
Even though the Kings have had a better season up to this point, it has been Winnipeg that has dominated the season series. The Jets are currently 2-0 against the Kings, and both of those games were 3-2 wins.
