The battle for a place in the playoffs in the Western Conference looks set to go down to the wire. The Winnipeg Jets currently sit eighth in the standings, but they come into this game after losing each of their previous two. Over their last ten, they have won on five occasions, with their home record standing at 22-12-2.
However, there will need to be a response this weekend, as the Jets were easily beaten in their most recent game. On that occasion, the San Jose Sharks ran out comfortable 3-0 home winners.

The Red Wings should come into this confident, as they picked up a fine 7-4 win in their previous game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. David Perron was in excellent form on that evening, as he scored three times.
