Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Jets have won two games in a row, outscoring opponents 10-2, and look to keep that streak alive tonight in Raleigh. Winnipeg is 21-11-0 on the road this season. The Jets have been deadly on the powerplay, scoring a league-high 56 powerplay goals. This is the second and final meeting between these two teams, with the Jets winning the first meeting 3-0 on February 4 in Winnipeg.
Carolina Hurricanes News & Notes:
The Hurricanes have won three straight games and will try to extend their winning streak tonight against the team with the best record in the NHL, the Winnipeg Jets. The big news in Carolina, though, is off the ice where, after trading for Mikko Rantanen, Carolina flips him at the trade deadline to the Dallas Stars for Logan Stankoven, two 1st round picks, and two third-round picks. Stankoven should make his Hurricanes debut tonight.

Players To Watch:
Winnipeg Jets
Nino Niederreiter has only 1 point in March after producing two points in February but his two points in February came in the victory over Carolina where the Swiss winger notched a goal and an assist. Niederreiter has evolved into a solid two-way forward for the Jets but can still score when called upon, the 32-year-old forward has six 20+ goal seasons in his career.
Carolina Hurricanes
Everyone in Carolina will be watching Logan Stankoven to see how he fits with the Hurricanes in his debut. Mikko Rantanen never seemed to develop the chemistry with Sebastian Aho that many thought would be there naturally as they are both Finnish players. I believe Stankoven plays a more similar style to Aho and fits the Carolina system better, I think big things are on the horizon for this duo.
