Philadelphia completely lost its air in January. The last three matches have been lost, and with each match the distance to the play-off zone is increasing. Now “Fila” is already in 13th place in its conference and the penultimate place in the division, and if the visitors continue to combine matches, soon the chances of the play-offs will be purely theoretical. Winnipeg will definitely not play as many as 4 players, namely: Ellis, Atkinson, Couturier and Lachinsky. I will not say that this is a significant loss, but in the current deplorable state, each player is very important to the “Pilots”.

Winnipeg even led the Western Conference for a while, but two extreme defeats allowed Dallas to regain the championship. The Fighters have not been very stable in recent years, but the position in the playoffs is not bad. The main asset of the current “Jets” is a disciplined defense game. In 50 games, the hosts conceded only 131 goals, the best record in the league is 1 goal less, so Winnipeg’s defense can be considered almost exemplary. There are no big personnel problems, only Gustafsson and Ampleton will not play, but these players are not the main ones.
