WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Jets extended their point streak to four games (3-0-1) after they beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-1 on Tuesday night. Winnipeg has gone 3-1-2 so far on their season long eight-game homestand. The Jets next face the Seattle Kraken at the Canada Life Centre for a Thursday night tilt.
Seattle is closing out a five-game road trip and won their last game 4-2 in Pittsburgh. They added Kaapo Kakko back in December in a trade with the Rangers and already have Stanley Cup winner Brandon Montour, a free agent signing in the offseason.
“They've got speed, they get on you. They move the puck up quick, and they got some really good skill guys that can shoot the puck and make you pay. They made some acquisitions there in the offseason, some guys that have won, that winning DNA,” said Dylan DeMelo.
“Good players, quality players, so they're a good team, top to bottom, we're going to have to be good tonight.”
DeMelo will be playing in his 600th game in the NHL tonight.
“When you look back, in a blink of an eye it went by pretty fast,” said DeMelo.
“Six hundred’s pretty cool, pretty happy about that. Hopefully I can play 600 more.”
