The Winnipeg Jets are looking to wrap up their season-long homestand on a high note as they host the Calgary Flames on Saturday. With just one game remaining in their eight-game home stretch, the Jets have impressed with a 4-1-2 record.

How good are the Winnipeg Jets this season? Really good is the answer. They are currently tied with the also surprising Washington Capitals to lead the NHL with 63 points. For the Jets, Kyle Connor‘s offensive production is one reason for the team’s success.

Opening faceoff is at 7 p.m. ET and you can watch it on ESPN+ ( plans start at $11.99/month). Washington (29-10-5, in the Metropolitan Division) last played on Tuesday night and beat visiting Anaheim 3-0 as Logan Thompson stopped all 19 shots. The Capitals are 6-1-3 in their last 10 games.

The Washington Capitals have activated goaltender Charlie Lindgren from injured reserve. Lindgren had missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, one he sustained on January 10th against the Montreal Canadiens when Nick Suzuki had collided with Lindgren in the crease.

Steven Stamkos did not practice Thursday after leaving in the second period vs Winnipeg on Tuesday. He is listed as a game-time decision vs Capitals.
