The Ducks are 5-10-1 through the first 16 games this season. They rank 24th in goal scoring and 31st in goals allowed. The team is last on the powerplay and last in the penalty kill. Troy Terry leads the team in scoring with six goals and 13 assists. Zegras has seven goals, Strome has five goals on special teams and Jamie Drysdale has a torn shoulder labrum. Ducks play terrible defense and allow too many shots to flow through.

The Jets are 9-4-1 and winning with defense and goaltending. The Jets rely too much on their goalie, however.

Josh Morrisey has one goal and 14 assists. Scheifele has 10 goals and two assists, with two coming on the powerplay. Kyle Connor has two goals, but he hasn't converted a power play goal yet. Pierre-Luc Dubois has seven goals. Hellebuyck is 7-3-1 with a 2.08 goals-against average and a save percentage of .935. Jets rank 24th in goals but are the best team in goal-allowed. They also rank 19th on power plays and fifth on penalty kill.

The Jets are the better team and they are expected to cover the spread and win this game by multiple goals.
