Winnipeg enters play looking for its fourth-straight victory while Ottawa is in search of its third win in a row.
The Jets defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 on Tuesday in a game that saw Al Montoya win his third straight game while recording 27 saves in a shutout.
"For me it's just about doing the right things in practice and working hard. Like I said earlier, the team is doing a great job in front of me," Montoya said via NHL.com. "Maybe I'm seeing the first shot but after that, clearing rebounds out, we're communicating well in the defensive zone, and we're putting together victories here right now."
Montoya may get the start again, and is 8-2-1 with a 1.85 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage while Craig Anderson is likely to start for Ottawa and is 12-9-4 with a 3.17 GAA and a .904 save percentage while putting together three straight wins.
The Senators notched their second win in a row when Anderson made 34 saves in a 3-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Monday.
"It's one of those things where you have to keep looking forward. The next game is the next game. You got to look forward to that one now," Anderson said per NHL.com. "What we had in the last couple of games, we have to put that behind us and move forward, and keep climbing the ladder."
Erik Karlsson leads the Senators with 38 points off of 10 goals and 28 assists while Bobby Ryan has 18 tallies and 18 helpers for 36 points and Kyle Turris has lit the lamp 10 times and added 21 assists for 31 points. Turris has three goals in his last five games for Ottawa.
Bryan Little has paced the Jets with 33 points off of 14 goals and 19 assists while Blake Wheeler has 15 markers and 16 helpers for 31 points and Andrew Ladd has found the back of the net 10 times and added 19 assists for 29 points.
Both teams look to extend their winning streaks when the lights come up at the MTS Centre tonight in Winnipeg.
