The 5-3-2 Jets have taken at least one point in four straight games, and are coming off of a 7-1 drubbing of the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Jets’ RW Blake Wheeler sniped a hat trick and added an assist for a four-point night against the Pens; Wheeler leads Winnipeg in points (4 goals, 8 assists) so far this season. After a 4-3 victory over the Wild earlier this month, the Jets will be brimming with confidence heading into Minnesota.
The Wild (4-3-2) have won three of their last four games. They currently sit last in the Central Division, but that’s largely due to having played in only nine games. All-star goaltender Devan Dubnyk has had a slow start to the season, winning only three of seven games started, while posting a goals against average above three and a save percentage of .905. Though still early, the Wild will need their cornerstone player to be better, starting with Tuesday’s game against Winnipeg.

Blake Wheeler and the Winnipeg Jets will attempt to get two points closer to the Central Division lead on Tuesday, as they take on the Minnesota Wild on the road. The Jets have started strong, and sit in second place in their division. Led by RW Blake Wheeler, the Jets look like a team that could make some noise in the West this season.
The Minnesota Wild, though last in the Central, have won three of their last four games, and seem to be settling into their game. Now a month into the season, the Wild hope that Devan Dubnyk will return to form and lead his team once again. Don’t miss this Western Conference matchup Tuesday (8:00 PM ET on TSN 3).
