Game 21: Jets vs. Canucks pre-game report

The Jets have now won four straight games after they swept the Habs to add another four points to the standings bank. Today they welcome the Canucks to town for the first of two games. Biggest question for Winnipeg in advance of the game is the health status of Tucker Poolman who has missed the last two games.
