As we look forward to the debut of the highly anticipated NHL regular season, we take a look at some noteworthy all-Canadian matchups.
The boys over at Canucks army have taken some time to preview some marquee games between the Pacific and Central division, and the Jets VS Canucks will be a clash of the titans you sure wont want to miss.
No matter what kind of season the Jets are having, they've always seemed to be among the Canucks' stiffest competition. Winnipeg took two of three contests against Vancouver, though the Canucks' lone 5-0 victory ranks among their biggest statement games of the regular season.
The Canucks' inability to beat the Jets consistently is only made more confusing on paper, with both roster lining up pretty evenly. The Jets have built a roster predominantly out of homegrown talent, with Scheifele, Josh Morrissey, Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers leading the charge. What Winnipeg lacks in firepower compared to the Canucks, they make up for with overall team chemistry and physicality throughout the lineup.
The Vancouver Canucks haven't won a series against the Winnipeg Jets since 2015, which is quite a remarkable statistic. For whatever reason, the Jets absolutely kick the snot out of the Canucks on a yearly basis. Fans can anticipate the Winnipeg Jets to show up against Van-City yet again next season and is poised to be a series Jets enthusiasts will not want to miss.
