Game 17: Winnipeg Jets vs Arizona Coyotes pre-game report

The Jets are streaking having won five of their last six games and are 8-2-2 in their last 12 games which has them sitting 3rd in the Central Division just two points ahead of their opponents this evening as the Coyotes have gone 5-3-2 in their last ten.

Recall news:

The Jets announced they have recalled Dominic Toninato on an emergency basis.

Skate news:

The Jets will hold a very optional skate and associate coach Scott Arniel will speak around 10:30 ish. We do know that Laurent Brossoit will get the start in net. The only other question seems to be if the team will insert Nate Schmidt back in the lineup for Logan Stanley.
