Winnipeg Jets (27-23-5) vs. Ottawa Senators (18-25-11)Saturday 1 p.m., Bell-MTS Place; TV: CBC, Sportsnet, Radio: TSN-1290THE BIG MATCHUPGoalies Laurent Brossoit vs Craig AndersonIt hasn’t been the kind of season the Jets or Brossoit envisioned, his goals-against-average a full goal worse than last season (3.59, 2.52) and his saves percentage down dramatically (.885, .925). Winnipeg’s power play didn’t hurt the Jets in St. Louis – they only enjoyed a man advantage for 48 seconds – but that was the exception, of late. Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler have one goal in their last eight games, Mark Scheifele one in his last 10 and Nik Ehlers one in his last 11. Between the earsFor the most part this season, the Jets have collected the two points when playing against teams with inferior records. Then again, the Jets have dropped their last four overtime decisions, while winning the one shootout they’ve been in during that stretch.
