00:00And what do you like in tonight's matchups?
00:05Okay.
00:06So it's a Friday in case, you know, always on a Friday, the upsets can come.
00:10All of these hockey teams really have their Saturday schedule circled.
00:13It's the big night hockey night in Canada.
00:15You know how it goes.
00:16And we look here at the Winnipeg Jets.
00:18The Winnipeg Jets are on their first night of a back to back.
00:22They have the Predators on deck, which is a central divisional opponent.
00:26They're sitting first in the central.
00:28They're riding so high this season, 16 and 3.
00:31But I do think this is a possibility where they are going to lose this game tonight.
00:36I'm looking for the Pittsburgh Penguins to come out nice and strong now.
00:39Good news for the Penguins and Penguins backers as Tristan Jari has been confirmed in goal
00:44tonight.
00:45We look at him versus the Winnipeg Jets.
00:47This is a team where he has been so phenomenally strong versus them.
00:51Casey, he's got a 1.15 goals against average, a 960 save percentage versus the Jets in his
00:58career.
00:59And I do think in this game here, while we have seen the Winnipeg Jets so strong, we've
01:03seen that little bit of slump in a couple of their games offensively.
01:08And I think they're going to struggle to score on Tristan Jari tonight.
01:11And then we look at the schedule.
01:12And Casey, I mentioned it with the Florida Panthers.
01:15They were in a prime letdown spot last night, looking at their schedule ahead of them and
01:20behind them.
01:21And I think the Winnipeg Jets are in the same situation.
01:24They played three road games.
01:26That was the Rangers, Lightnings, and Panthers.
01:28So hard.
01:29And then they came home, faced the Panthers at home.
01:32Now they're coming on the road here to face the Pittsburgh Penguins here tonight.
01:37And then they have the Predators on deck.
01:39And then we look ahead at that, they have the Wild, the Kings, and Vegas.
01:43Looking at the opponent here in the Pittsburgh Penguins, I do think with how low they're
01:47sitting in the Metro, they're going to look past them.
01:50So it's the Penguins in this game.
01:52It's Sidney Crosby for his 600th goal tonight.
01:56That's coming in at plus 180.
01:57And if you have to circle someone from Winnipeg, I like your Mark Scheifele, where you're going
02:01with that.
02:02I think Kyle Conner as well.
02:03You know he always steps up, but I wouldn't count those power play points in tonight because
02:08while you look at the kill here for the Penguins, they're actually doing really strong on it.
