Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:

Winnipeg is in the second half of a back-to-back following their victory over the Ottawa Senators 4-1. While the Jets continue to distance themselves from the rest of the division, all eyes are on the trade deadline and how this team can improve. The Jets will have plenty of cap space at the deadline and the flexibility to add players who can impact their roster for a Stanley Cup run.

Nashville Predators News & Notes:

Nashville is 2-3 in their last five games and sits at 30th place in the NHL standings. Things haven’t gone well for Nashville in the least bit, but the team has plenty of draft capital to improve this roster.
