Winnipeg Jets Face Ottawa Senators December 28

The Winnipeg Jets achieved a league-leading 50 points with a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs and will host the Ottawa Senators for their first matchup of the season after the Christmas break. The Senators, struggling with injuries to key players including goaltender Linus Ullmark, are looking to improve their power play performance, which has faltered recently with no goals in their last six games. Jets captain Adam Lowry expressed optimism for a sharper game following a practice day, while Senators head coach Travis Green highlighted the importance of this matchup as a test against a top team. The Jets' power play has been on a roll, scoring in five consecutive games, whereas the Senators aim to turn around their fortunes as they navigate a challenging road trip. The Senators, currently holding a Wild Card spot, face significant pressure to perform despite their injury setbacks. The teams are set to clash at 7 PM ET at Canada Life Centre.
