The Hawks are back at it tonight at the UC and they will be facing off against the Winnipeg Jets who in the previous 2 meetings have had the Hawks number. The Jets come in to this one on a 3 game win streak and winners of 7 of their last 10 games, which has helped them grab a share of the Central Division lead. This team continues to surpass expectations and seems to be getting better as the year has gone on, so that is a scary thought considering this team has already beat the Hawks 4-0 and 7-2. Lets just hope its closer to game one than game 2.
