The Jets are coming into this game with 81 points, a 35-31-11 record overall, and they are 16-16-8 in their road games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Montreal Canadiens while their 3 losses since then have come against the Florida Panthers, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the New York Rangers in their last game. They lost that game on the road 3-0. No one scored a goal for them in that one as they were completely shut out. Nikolaj Ehlers led the team in shots on net in that game with 7. Eric Comrie was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 2 goals on 33 shots with 31 saves and a .939 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 235 goals this season averaging 3.1 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 248 goals against them allowing 3.2 goals per game. 

 

 

The Hurricanes are coming into this game with 106 points, a 49-20-8 record overall, and they are 27-8-4 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. Their 2 losses in that span were against the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche while their win came against the Arizona Coyotes in their last game. They won that game on the road 5-3. Max Domi, Nino Niederreiter, Sebastian Aho, Jesper Fast, and Vincent Trocheck each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Sebastian Aho led the team in shots on net in that game with 6. Antti Raanta was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 26 shots with 23 saves and a .885 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 256 goals this season averaging 3.3 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 190 goals against them allowing 2.5 goals per game. 

 

 

Neither of these teams have been playing very well coming into this game but the Hurricanes have been a much better team all season than the Jets have been and they are playing better in their recent games still. The Jets have lost 3 straight games while the Hurricanes have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming off of a win in their last game. The Jets are still mathematically in playoff contention but they are so far out of it that the Hurricanes have a chance to pretty much end their season right here with a win as the Jets need to win every game. The Jets have had problems scoring goals recently though and they are coming off of a game where they were shut out. The Hurricanes have a potent offense and they will score a lot of goals on the Jets here as they have been scoring goals recently. The best bet in this game is on the Hurricanes to win this game and help nudge the Jets closer to elimination.

“The score isn't really reflective of the game that we played. We had good zone time and did a good job defending. I thought we played a real solid game and deserved a better fate." - Dave Lowry on his team’s loss against the Rangers on Tuesday night.

 

 

“It was OK. We definitely created enough chances and gave up a few too many good looks and they capitalized. We'll take the two points for sure. Needed it.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s win against the Coyotes on Monday night.
