Jets face red-hot Ducks, battling for playoff positioning. Can Winnipeg's top line overcome Anaheim's surging youth?

A more realistic point of view is that Winnipeg could run the table to the same .707 points percentage that placed them No. 1 in the league last season and still fall short of 90 points.
