WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets will look to snap a two game losing streak when they face the Dallas Stars to begin a six game home stand Friday night at MTS Centre.
This will be the Jets second game in as many nights against a Central Division rally as they fell to the Minnesota Wild to even their record to two wins and two losses.
The Jets spent a great deal of their pre-game skate working on face offs after losing 45 of 61 draws in their 2-1 loss to the Wild.

As a result, the Jets spent most of the game chasing the puck and rarely threatened to score. Their only goal coming in the first period on the power play while enjoying a two man advantage.
Head coach, Claude Noel, said he and his coaches share in the blame for the players lack luster performances in their last two games.
“It’s my job to help them,” he said. “I want to be in the ditch with them. I don’t want to be at the top ordering them around. I want to be in the ditch digging in with them. Yes, it’s on the players, but it’s on the coaches as well.”
The Jets will play the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night.
