Slumping Jets try to break out vs. Senators

While the visiting Winnipeg Jets are reeling, the Ottawa Senators are trying to break through the logjam for an Eastern Conference playoff spot as the two teams meet Saturday night.

The Jets are winless in their last eight games (0-5-3). All but one of those losses - a two-goal defeat against Edmonton that included an empty-net insurance marker - have been decided by a single goal. The latest came on New Year's Day in Toronto, where Winnipeg blew a 4-1 second-period lead in a 6-5 loss to the Maple Leafs.
