Both teams have played effectively this postseason, with Winnipeg at 9-6 and Vegas winning 10 of its 13 games.
"In the final two periods of Game 3, the Jets peppered the Knights' net with 32 shots and Marc-Andre Fleury turned back 30 of them," noted Oh. "Fleury is out-dueling his goalie counterpart Connor Hellebuyck."
Mark Scheifele leads the Jets in playoff goals with 14 and teammate Blake Wheeler has racked up 17 assists. Jonathan Marchessault is tops on the Golden Knights with eight goals.
Special teams have been a major factor in this series, as Winnipeg has been smoking-hot on the power play, converting 11-of-41 man-advantage opportunities, good for 27 percent. While Vegas has struggled being a man up (17 percent), their penalty kill has been solid, allowing just nine goals on 49 chances this entire postseason.
