Game Day: Winnipeg Jets vs. Los Angeles Kings

Winnipeg faced the Edmonton Oil Companies last night and set an unfortunate franchise record, suffering their 11th straight defeat in a 4-3 regulation defeat. The Jets took a 3-1 lead after twenty minutes after goals from Kyle Connor (21), Tanner Pearson (5) and Josh Morrissey (7), but just like Tuesday’s match against the Vegas Golden Knightstaking your foot off the gas way too early.

Edmonton responded with three unanswered goals, while Winnipeg kept just five shots on goal in the final 40 minutes. Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves as the Jets fell to 15-22-5 and finished last in the NHL standings.

The Kings concluded a four-game homestand on Wednesday with a 4-3 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharkswith William Eklund scoring the match winner. Alex Turcotte (3), Kevin Fiala (16) and Alex Laferriere (11) scored for LA, while Darcy Kuemper stopped 24 shots. The loss dropped the Kings to 18-14-10, fifth in the Pacific Division.

Tonight is the final meeting of the season between the two Western Conference clubs. Winnipeg took the opener 3-2 in regulation on October 11 before LA responded with a 3-0 shutout victory on November 4 at Crypto.com Arena, making tonight’s game the decider of the season series.

Eric Comrie is expected to start for the Jets after Hellebuyck played last night as Winnipeg looks to avoid extending its losing streak to 12 games.
