The Preds continue on the road after a resounding loss to the St. Louis Blues. Their next opponent is the league-leading Winnipeg Jets, who continue to tear up the competition.
Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele are tied for the team lead in goals, with 22 each, while Josh Morrissey has 31 assists and Connor leads the team with 49 points — on pace for well over a 100-point season. They’ve combined great shooting luck, making a fairly average offense into a lethal one at all strengths, with great goaltending.
Their penalty kill has been weaker, but Connor Hellebuyck is putting himself well in the running for another Vezina, turning in great performances behind an offense that’s able to turn them into wins.
