Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Winnipeg Jets recalled forwards Danny Zhilkin and Parker Ford on an emergency basis. The two recalls come after Winnipeg was not carrying an extra forward, and Morgan Barron was pulled from the previous game against Colorado for concussion protocol purposes. Barron is considered a game-time decision as his status remains up in the air for tonight.
Colorado Avalanche News & Notes:
The Colorado Avalanche look to continue their winning ways over the Winnipeg Jets after a gritty 3-2 win over the Jets in Winnipeg on Thursday night. Nathan MacKinnon is two goals away from the 50-goal mark this season, and he’ll look to pass that mark in an effort to defeat Winnipeg.

Players To Watch:
Winnipeg Jets
Danny Zhilkin makes his return to the Winnipeg Jets after being with the Manitoba Moose for quite some time. The Jets’ prospect aims to be a key contributor in the team’s push for a win tonight.
Colorado Avalanche
Cale Makar was a massive reason the Jets didn’t score more on Thursday night, and he’ll look to do the same tonight for the Avalanche in pursuit of a win.
