John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers (26-26-8) are in Manitoba on Saturday night to take on Scott Arniel's powerhouse Winnipeg Jets (42-15-3).

Winnipeg Jets' forward Morgan Barron is set to return tonight after missing eight games with an upper body injury.

Today they are back in Winnipeg for one game before they head back out east. Very unusual scheduling this season but clearly sitting in top spot in the entire NHL it hasn’t impacted the NHL club of Winnipeg who sit 1st overall in the entire NHL.

Winnipeg looks to return to its winning ways, and our expert NHL predictions expect Jets defenseman Neal Pionk to let it rip tonight.

The Philadelphia Flyers aim to keep their playoff hopes alive when they face the host Winnipeg Jets Saturday night.

The Jets (42-15-4) are coming off a tight 2-1 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, but are still 7-1-1 against the Metropolitan Division this season. One of Winnipeg's seven wins against Metropolitan Division teams came just before the 4-Nations Face-Off when they earned a 4-3 victory over the Islanders at Canada Life Centre.

The New York Islanders' playoff push might have begun to stall with a loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Feb. 7. Now, the Jets might be the final opponent the Islanders see before a successful era ends later this week.

Matvei Michkov scored the shootout winner, helping the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 road victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.

Although Travis Konecny is the lone point-per-game player on the roster (22 goals and 63 points in 60 games), the Flyers have six players in double digits for goals — and a seventh (in captain Sean Couturier) knocking on the door with nine.
