The Winnipeg Jets return to action on Friday evening for a test against Paul Maurice's Florida Panthers from Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.
The red-hot Jets will be in search of their fifth-straight win, and enter the game with an 11-5-2 record through the first 18 games of the season.
Friday's contest will be the second stop of a three-game road trip, which began with a 3-2 overtime win in Tampa Bay on Wednesday, and concludes in Nashville on Sunday evening.
The Jets will look to keep the good times rolling when they hit the ice in Florida on Friday, and that likely means a lineup similar to that which the team has been going with rather steadily over the past number of games.
"It's a tough game coming in here, it's hot, you've got to work for every stride," defenceman Josh Morrissey said following the win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
"They make you work, so hopefully we can build off that going into Florida. Obviously, they have a good thing rolling there right now too, so just trying to build off this and keep growing our game."
The biggest news coming out of Florida is that head coach Rick Bowness has rejoined the team and will be back behind the bench for the first time in a month on Friday.
Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM central time on Friday, while the game can be viewed live on TSN.
