|
| |  | WINNIPEG: LAST SEASON: 37-35-10, 84 points; finished 11th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Paul Maurice, second season with the Jets, 478-469-99-73 overall.
ADDED: C Mathieu Perreault.
LOST: C Olli Jokinen, G Al Montoya.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Evander Kane: The 23-year old is entering his sixth NHL season, all with the Thrashers/Jets franchise. But the question surrounding Kane isn't where he'll start the season. Rather it's where he'll finish. Kane's name has been linked in trade rumors, leading the left winger to tell a Vancouver radio station in July he will operate under the assumption he is ''a Winnipeg Jet.''
OUTLOOK: The Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise has not qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs since the 2006-07 season. That probably won't change in 2014-15. | | MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Lost to Chicago 4-2 in Western Conference semifinals after beating Colorado 4-3 in first round.
COACH: Mike Yeo, fourth season, 104-82-26.
ADDED: LW Thomas Vanek, LW Brett Sutter, D Justin Falk, D Stu Bickel.
LOST: RW Dany Heatley, LW Matt Moulson, D Clayton Stoner, C Cody McCormick, LW Mike Rupp.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Vanek signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Wild after spending his first nine NHL seasons in the Eastern Conference, primarily with Buffalo. Vanek will be counted on for a scoring boost for a team that tied for 24th in the NHL in goals per game, but with Zach Parise and former Sabres teammate Jason Pominville among the top six forwards the onus is not all on him.
OUTLOOK: After advancing past the first round for only the second time in franchise history with a dramatic upset of the Central Division champion Avalanche, the Wild are on track for more with the addition of Vanek and the development of young forwards Mikael Granlund, Charlie Coyle, Erik Haula and Nino Niederreiter. The goalie situation is the biggest concern, with Niklas Backstrom and Darcy Kuemper returning as the top two after an injury-laden season at the position that forced the Wild to give four different players 19 starts or more in the net. |

*Jets-Wild Preview* ===================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Winnipeg (18-10-7) at Minnesota (16-13-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Winnipeg Jets will be dealing with a depleted defense corps for the next couple of months, but lately, they've overcome those absences behind one of the league's most prolific scoring attacks.
Mathieu Perreault is among those leading the charge for the Jets, and he'll try to match his longest career point streak in Saturday night's opener of a home-and-home set against the slumping Minnesota Wild.
Winnipeg (18-10-7) lost defensemen Jacob Trouba and Mark Stuart until at least February in the final two weeks before the Christmas break. They joined Zach Bogosian - expected to remain out until at least next month - and Tobias Enstrom on the shelf.
The Jets acquired Jay Harrison from Carolina on Dec. 18 to make up for those losses, and winger Dustin Byfuglien was moved to the blue line.
Byfuglien assisted on Perreault's second goal in Tuesday's 5-1 rout of Chicago, which pushed Winnipeg to 3-0-1 in its last four games and 8-1-4 in its past 13.
Perreault has four of his eight goals in the last three contests. He has five goals and four assists during his eight-game point streak, the longest by a Jets player this season.
Perreault, who has three goals and one assist in his last four games against Minnesota, had a nine-game run March 14-31 while with Anaheim.
"(He's) real confident with the puck now, getting it off his stick quick and no second-guessing. We need that," coach Paul Maurice said. "He's been great. He's such a good guy in the room. He works so hard. I think that's the big part. For not a big man, he just fights for every puck and then when he scores, the guys appreciate that even more."
With Perreault's contributions, Winnipeg has averaged 3.31 goals in its last 13 games - the second-most in the league since Nov. 24. Bryan Little has seven of his team-best 13 goals in that stretch but has two goals and two assists in his last eight games.
The Jets will face a Minnesota team tied with Arizona for most goals allowed per game since Nov. 24 at 3.67.
The Wild (16-13-3) have fared even worse in a 2-4-2 stretch by giving up 33 goals, including a combined 11 in the past two of their four consecutive defeats. Minnesota matched its longest skid this season with a 5-2 loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
"We're supposed to be a band of brothers that goes out, night in and night out, and lays it on the line for each other," forward Matt Cooke said. "We found that last year. Just because we had it last year doesn't mean that it's here this year. We have to go out and earn the trust in each other."
Minnesota blew an early three-goal lead to Winnipeg on Nov. 16 but Marco Scandella provided an overtime goal for a 4-3 victory, its fifth in the last six meetings.
The Wild have also won three in a row at home over the Jets, but are seeking to avoid their first four-game home losing streak in two seasons. Their longest overall skid last season was a six-gamer Dec. 19-31.
Zach Parise, who scored twice in last month's win, has 11 goals and 10 assists in his past 18 games versus the Jets franchise.
Byfuglien, a Minnesota native, has two goals and nine assists in his last 10 matchups with the Wild and three goals and eight assists in his last seven visits to Minnesota.
The Jets and Wild will play again Monday.
