Jets Face Ducks in Regular Season Finale

The Winnipeg Jets, having secured their first-ever Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top regular-season team, will wrap up their regular season against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. Winnipeg boasts a strong 29-7-4 home record and has excelled in games following rest, while Anaheim enters on a three-game losing streak and will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. The Jets are preparing for a playoff matchup against the St. Louis Blues but are likely to be without forward Nikolaj Ehlers due to a lower-body injury; however, Dylan Samberg and Gabriel Vilardi are nearing returns, and Adam Lowry is expected back after resting. Anaheim will try to end its season positively after a close loss to the Minnesota Wild and has struggled in back-to-back games. This game marks a tune-up for the Jets before their playoff push and a season wrap-up for the Ducks. Both teams have met twice previously this season, with Anaheim winning the last matchup in overtime.
