BOTTOM LINE: The Winnipeg Jets visit the Washington Capitals looking to build upon a five-game win streak. Washington is 16-4-4 at home and 34-11-6 overall. The Capitals have a 12-3-2 record in games their opponents commit more penalties.

Montreal always seems to give Winnipeg a tough test, especially in their own building. The Jets lost 4-3 in a shootout during last year’s annual visit (Laurent Brossoit was in net), and fell 4-1 the previous season (with Hellebuyck between the pipes).

The Winnipeg Jets continued their strong play with a 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games. Kyle Connor scored twice, while Mark Scheifele also found the back of the net.
