The Carolina Hurricanes head into this matchup having beaten the New York Islanders in a shootout.
Thanks to Justin Williams and James Reimer, the Canes finally stopped their losing streak at 3 games, and look to extend their winning streak to 2 games tonight, hosting the Jets in Raleigh.
The Winnipeg Jets are coming off of two straight losses; a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on 1/19, and a 7-1 blitzing from the Tampa Bay Lightning on 1/17.
The Jets have found themselves on the outs more often than not in their past 10 games, having won only 4 games in the same time period.
