Meanwhile, on Saturday’s nail-biting double overtime contest Vegas displayed poise by winning 5-4 double overtime victory.

Winnipeg Jets view this game as an absolute must. Their first win came easily but their momentum quickly dissipated following a 5-2 loss in Game 2; and poor start in Game 3 resulted in a deflating 5-4 double overtime loss. The Jets battled back from a 4-1 deficit but could not get their shot off during overtime, only managing 6 shots between both periods.

The Jets have gone winless against the Golden Knights so far this season. Josh Morrissey is one of the Jets’ key defensive players. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old defenseman sustained an injury early and did not return.
