As the Winnipeg Jets prepare to face off against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place, fans are eager to see if the team can maintain their recent performance trends. The upcoming match, scheduled for January 1st, 2023, will be a test of resilience and strategy for the Jets who have shown a mix of results in their past games.

Analyzing the past three games reveals that while the Jets have had some struggles, they've also demonstrated moments of strength. In their most recent game against Vancouver Canucks at Canada Life Centre, they secured a victory with four goals scored and showed significant powerplay success with two goals on four opportunities. Their shooting percentage was notable at ten percent and they managed to win nearly half (48 percent) of faceoffs.

However, consistency has been an issue as seen in their game against Minnesota Wild where they only managed one goal from thirty-two shots reflecting a shooting percentage of just over three percent. Despite winning nearly sixty percent of faceoffs that night, it wasn't enough to secure a win.

The game prior against Washington Capitals saw similar challenges with only one goal scored and an even lower shooting percentage close to four percent. Faceoff wins were again strong but did not translate into scoring success.

While goaltending has been relatively steady with save percentages hovering around ninety percent in two out of three games analyzed, there's room for improvement especially in even-strength situations where most goals are conceded.

Fans attending or tuning into this highly anticipated match can expect the Winnipeg Jets to focus on converting faceoff wins into offensive opportunities and tightening up their even-strength play. With powerplay performance being a highlight in recent outings, capitalizing on these chances could be key against an Oilers team that will be looking to leverage home advantage at Rogers Place.

The action unfolds live on January 1st at 03:00 AM UTC available nationally via ESPN+ online streaming or internationally through SN1, SNE or SNO television networks.
