Winnipeg spends the current regular season at a very high level. The Jets have had some long winning streaks, but they have also had some bad stretches. At the turn of January and February, they suddenly lost five games in a row, but then they continued to win as if there was no slump. And now they have suffered another setback. In the previous five meetings, they lost to New Jersey 1:4, Islanders 3:6, Washington 0:3, Edmonton 3:4, and the day before to Vegas 1:4. A series of five straight losses sent the Blue and White to fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

Ottawa, on the contrary, failed in the current regular season. From the very first games of the season, the Senators played mediocre, lost points, and left a tough and, at times, even hopeless impression. They repeatedly allowed long-losing streaks and, therefore, lost any realistic chance of making the playoffs early on and lost all tournament motivation. Amazingly, they found their game at the end of the season, helping them beat New Jersey 5:2, Edmonton 5:3, Buffalo 6:2, and Chicago 2:0. Four straight wins helped the team climb to 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Winnipeg and Ottawa are approaching the face-off in completely different forms. The Jets have lost their last five games, while the Senators have won their last four. The upcoming battle is a big reason for both series to break, as the Blue and White are playing much more successfully in the current regular season, and therefore, the battle with the underdog is a great chance to break the streak of failures. The head-to-head statistics are also in Rick Bowness' favor, as they have won four of their last six meetings.

Winnipeg and Ottawa have been very cautious and closed lately, and that's why there are also problems with the results. In the previous five head-to-head meetings, there were a total of only 21 shots on goal (4.20 per game on average). In addition, in all five of these battles, one of the teams has scored less than two goals.
