The Carolina Hurricanes are heading north to Winnipeg to face the Jets on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 8 p.m. EST. Despite a recent 4-3 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild, where Jackson Blake scored two goals, the Hurricanes have plenty to build on as they prepare for this interconference matchup.
Carolina currently holds a 13-5-2 record and sits atop the Eastern Conference. Their offense ranks among the league's best, scoring the third-most goals in the NHL with 72, averaging 3.6 per game. Defensively, they've allowed 57 goals (2.8 per game), placing them 13th in the league. This strong goal differential of +15 is the third-best in the NHL. However, their power-play conversion rate is struggling, ranking 31st in the league at 12.5%.
In their last 10 games, the Hurricanes have gone 6-2-2, maintaining an average of 3.3 goals scored and 2.6 goals allowed per game. They have also demonstrated discipline, averaging 3.1 penalties and 7.8 penalty minutes in that span. Seth Jarvis leads the team with 10 goals and 7 assists.
Winnipeg, meanwhile, sits fourth in the Western Conference with a 12-7 record. The Jets' offense is also potent, ranking 11th in the NHL with 63 goals (3.3 per game). Their defense is even stingier, allowing just 52 goals (2.7 per game), which is the sixth-best mark in the league. Their goal differential stands at +11, placing them fifth overall. The Jets have a strong power-play unit, converting at a 25% rate, ranking them seventh in the NHL.
Over their last 10 games, the Jets have a 6-4-0 record, averaging 3.3 goals for and 2.8 goals against. Gabriel Vilardi has been a key contributor with 6 goals and 8 assists, while Kyle Connor has added 7 goals and 6 assists.
Notably, this will be the first meeting between the Hurricanes and Jets this season. Carolina has been strong on the road with a 7-3-1 record. Winnipeg has been solid at home with a 6-3-0 record. A key to Carolina's success has been staying out of the penalty box, as they are 5-0-2 when committing fewer penalties than their opponents.
Looking at betting insights, the Jets are +1.5 on the spread, and the Over/Under is set at 5.5 goals. Computer predictions lean towards a 4-3 Jets victory.
As both teams boast strong offensive and defensive capabilities, Friday's game promises to be a tightly contested affair. The Hurricanes will look to capitalize on their scoring depth, while the Jets will rely on their solid defense and power-play efficiency.
