The Jets are coming off a big win over the Red Wings last night but now have a tough test in the Devils who they face in Winnipeg on Sunday night. New Jersey is playing tonight and the game against the Jets will be their third game in four nights so there is an opportunity to take advantage of a potentially tired club.
