    The Jets will host the Utah Hockey Club for the first time ever on Tuesday night.

    The 11-1-0 Winnipeg Jets will host the 5-4-3 Utah Hockey Hockey from Canada Life Centre at 7:00 PM central time on Tuesday evening. 

    The game will mark the second test of a four-game homestand for Winnipeg, while also serving as the first of three-straight matchups against Central Division opponents. 

    The Jets are coming off a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday afternoon, while Utah enters the game losers of five of its last six games - most recently a 4-3 overtime loss to Vegas on Saturday. 

    Winnipeg is not expected to make any drastic changes to its lineup for the divisional tilt, in hopes of keeping its exceptionally strong start to the season alive.

    Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi

    Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers

    Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton

    Barron-Kupari-Iafallo
