Jets face the Mammoth Sunday. A pivotal showdown with Hellebuyck guarding the net and familiar lines aiming for a crucial win.
The 6-2-0 Winnipeg Jets are set to square off with the identical 6-2-0 Utah Mammoth on Sunday evening from Canada Life Centre.
The game marks the final test of Winnipeg's stretch of three games in four night and will mark the first meeting between two top Central Division forces - with the Mammoth making their first official visit to Winnipeg since the new name/jerseys came into effect this offseason.
