Jets seek end to five-game skid as Panthers visit Winnipeg
Winnipeg returns to Canada Life Centre on Tuesday after five consecutive one-goal losses.
The Winnipeg Jets host the Florida Panthers at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 27, seeking their first win in six games. The NHL schedules the matchup for 7 p.m. CT.
Winnipeg enters with a 4-4-3 record after losing five straight games by one goal. The latest was Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Montreal in the Heritage Classic, when the Jets scored once on 34 shots.
Coach Scott Arniel said Winnipeg needs more scoring from beyond Mark Scheifele’s line and more players getting to the net. Captain Adam Lowry said the direct, aggressive approach the Jets showed in the third period against Montreal needs to carry through a full game.
Dawson Mercer is set to make his first appearance at Canada Life Centre with Winnipeg after beginning his Jets career in the outdoor game. The club lists its morning skate for 10:30 a.m. CT.
Florida arrives with a 6-4-2 record.
