That&#8217;s a 133-point pace. He&#8217;s gone 9-7 against this line in that span, and he has a plus matchup against an inexperienced netminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Milic has made just two NHL appearances, giving up six goals on 51 shots (.882 SV%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 22-year-old has a career .895 AHL SV% in 63 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, Winnipeg has had a lacklustre year defensively. The Jets are giving up the fourth-most chances (61.77) and ninth-most shots (29.21) on a 60-minute basis, per Natural Stat Trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> McDavid is 4-4 against this line in his last eight games vs. Winnipeg.
