In goal, Laurent Brossoit has provided stability between the pipes for the Jets. With an impressive save percentage of 1 and only allowing 3 goals on 28 shots faced in his previous game, Brossoit has proven himself as a reliable netminder who can make crucial saves when it matters most.

While the focus is on the Winnipeg Jets, it's important not to overlook the talent of the Nashville Predators. Forward Filip Forsberg has been a standout performer for them, tallying 2 goals and 3 assists in their last three games. His offensive skills combined with his strong two-way play make him a threat on both ends of the ice.


In addition to Forsberg, defenseman Roman Josi has been a force to be reckoned with. With 3 assists and solid defensive play, Josi has been a key contributor to the Predators' success. His ability to quarterback the power play and contribute offensively from the blue line adds another dimension to their game.


As the Winnipeg Jets take on the Nashville Predators, fans can expect an intense battle between two talented teams. The Jets will look to their top performers like Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Dylan DeMelo to lead them to victory. However, they must also be prepared for the formidable presence of Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi on the Predators' side.


The game is scheduled for April 10th at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ (Internet) and BSSO (TV) at 9:00 PM local time.
