JETS (17-17-2) at COYOTES (17-16-3)

TV: TSN3, FS-A PLUS

Season series: Chris Thorburn scored shorthanded with 8:51 remaining in the third period to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes at MTS Centre on Nov. 21. Winnipeg goaltender Ondrej Pavelec sustained a knee injury in a collision with Arizona forward Shane Doan and left the game. He has not played since.

Jets team scope: Center Mark Scheifele (concussion) skated as a non-contact player in practice Wednesday and will make the trip, the Winnipeg Sun reported. "I feel good," Scheifele told the Jets website. "I'm going through the [concussion] protocol, feeling better each and every day. Hopefully, I can be back soon." Winnipeg starts a five-game road trip having lost 11 of its past 12 road games. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who has allowed one goal in his past two games, is expected to start for the eighth time in the past nine games. The trip continues Saturday against the San Jose Sharks.

Coyotes team scope: Doan is one goal away from passing Dale Hawerchuk for the all-time franchise record. Doan, who began his NHL career in 1995-1996 with the original Winnipeg Jets franchise, tied Hawerchuk at 379 goals with a hat trick in a 7-5 home loss against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. Coach Dave Tippett said that defensemen Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Zbynek Michalek, who each sustained a minor injury Tuesday, are expected to play. Tippett also said goaltender Louis Domingue will start, according to the Coyotes website. Domingue replaced starter Anders Lindback against Chicago. Arizona has allowed five or more goals in seven of the past 13 games. After completing a stretch of eight of nine games at home in December, Arizona will start a three-game Western Canada road trip Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.
