Line Combinations: Jets vs. Ducks

The 27-11-1 Winnipeg Jets will host the 15-17-4 Anaheim Ducks from Canada Life Centre on Thursday evening. 

Returning home following a quick 24-hour road trip to Colorado on Tuesday night, the Jets will look to bounce back following the loss against the Avalanche as they begin their season-high eight-game homestand.

Still sitting first in the league and owning the best goals for and goal differential numbers of the 32 clubs, Winnipeg got outplayed in its lone road stop in an 11-game span - which also doubled as the second half of a back-to-back, came on the road against a high-scoring opponent, and saw backup goaltender Eric Comrie tend the net for reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck. 

Hellebuyck will look for his 25th win of the season on Thursday, which will be Winnipeg's first game of 2025, also doubling as Ukrainian Heritage Night at Canada Life Centre.
