Desperate to snap a five-game skid, Winnipeg turns to Clay Stevenson to stifle Florida’s struggling offense and reclaim their historical dominance over the visiting Panthers.

The Winnipeg Jets are set to face the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, aiming to halt a five-game losing streak. Backup goaltender Clay Stevenson is expected to make his fourth start of the season for Winnipeg, while Akira Schmid is anticipated to start in net for Florida. The Jets have won six of their past eight matchups against the Panthers dating back to December 2022.
Winnipeg enters the game struggling offensively, ranking fourth-worst in the NHL with an average of 2.45 goals per game. Meanwhile, the Panthers rank 11th-worst in league scoring at 2.83 goals per game. The Jets' projected lineup features Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and Cole Perfetti on the top line, with Josh Morrissey, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Nick Bjugstad listed as injured.
