Jets vs. Predators live stream, Game 4: TV schedule, online and more
By Adam Stocker
The Winnipeg Jets host the Nashville Predators in Game 4 of their second-round series. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
The Winnipeg Jets capitalized late on the power play to take a 2-1 series lead on the Nashville Predators in Game 3. Nashville jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, but could not hold on. The Jets rebounded in the second period, scoring four goals. Blake Wheeler scored the winner with less than five minutes remaining. Winnipeg added two empty-net goals, winning 7-4. The Jets will look to continue their home-ice dominance and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. While the Predators will look to even the series before heading back to Nashville for Game 5.
Connor Hellebuyck wasn’t great in Game 3 but he did enough to win. The Jets’ goalie has played well in the playoffs, posting a .920 save percentage. Winnipeg needs Hellebuyck to play better than he did in Game 3 if they are going to make a run to the Stanley Cup Final. The Jets gave up a first-round pick at the trade deadline for Paul Statsny. It was a heavy price to pay for a player who is a free agent at the end of the season but Statsny has delivered. The second line center has nine points in eight playoff games.
Pekka Rinne again struggled in Game 3. After a Vezina Trophy-caliber season, the Finnish goalie has struggled in the playoffs. Rinne is allowing over three goals per game and has a .901 save percentage. The Predators need Rinne to come up big in Game 4 to even the series. Roman Josi was fifth on the team in scoring in the regular season, one point behind Ryan Johansen. However, in the playoffs, Josi has not produced at the same level. Despite managing 34 shots, Josi has only two assists. Nashville’s offense is at its best when its defense is producing.
