Desperate Times

Another day, another game -- and another chance for the Winnipeg Jets to snap their dismal 10-game losing skid. The Jets welcome the Edmonton Oilers to Canada Life Centre as they officially enter the back 41 of the NHL season. While Connor McDavid is on a remarkable run -- posting 17 goals and 39 points over his last 16 games -- this matchup isn’t really about him for Winnipeg. It’s about how the Jets handle themselves. There’s also a fresh face in the lineup. Forward Danny Zhilkin has earned a call-up after impressing in the preseason and during his time with the Moose. Cam dives into Zhilkin’s journey and the path to his NHL debut. Elsewhere, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports that defenseman Luke Schenn would be open to a change of scenery, though he has not requested a trade. The Jets have been actively exploring the market, but so far, nothing has materialized. Is there a truly impactful trade available right now? Some have their doubts. Learn more about your ad choices.
