Winnipeg scored 10 more goals than Nashville over the season.
Nashville let in 7 less goals.... 2 peas in a pod.
The edge Winnipeg has is their depth They went through the year with a lot more injuries.
The Jets lost 134 Man games at forward with a 3.69 Cap hit and 97 games on defense with a 5.8 M cap hit
The Predators lost 63 man games at forward 2.55M cap and 69 games on defense with a 1.79 cap hit.
A the trade deadline the Jets added Stastny and Morrow and the Predators added Fisher and Hartman. More of a positive impact for the Jets.
It looks as though the Jets will be missing Perrault, Kulikov and Mason and possibly Armia to start this series.
the healthy scratches for the Jets look to be Dano and Matthais and Morrow and Poolman (all pretty solid NHL players) along with Petan and Niku (AHL best D-man) from the Moose
The healthy scratches for the Preds (Hartnell and Gauthier Bietto and Bollig)
This is healthy as the Jets have been over the year.
Nashville might be missing Yannick Weber
Over the regular season the Jets ( #11 in league) out hit the Predators (#22) but in the playoffs Jets 31.4 hits / game and Nashville 30 hits a game. Nashville taking a bigger step up and out of their regular game to play playoff heavy.
