NHL.com goes Behind the Numbers to identify key statistics for each of the eight best-of-5 series in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers. Today, a look at the matchup between the Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets.

It’s normal for there to be alarm bells not just ringing but blaring down Main Street as the Jets have lost three straight games, falling out of playoff position at precisely the moment in the season when good teams are meant to lock down their spots.

The Nashville Predators host the Winnipeg Jets at Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 29. The Predators beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Nov. 28, scoring three times in the second period to earn their second straight win. Steven Stamkos, Luke Evangelista, and Ryan O'Reilly each had two points in the win.

It looks like the Winnipeg Jets will be rolling with Eric Comrie and Thomas Milic until Connor Hellebuyck is ready to return.

Winnipeg’s forwards and defencemen are suffering this season, but the D’s numbers have dropped off dramatically. It’s leading to roughly three fewer Jets shots per game, based on Hohl’s math, on a team that’s taking five fewer shots per game than the one that came before it.

The Winnipeg Jets reached the end of November facing a reality that few expected earlier in the season. A 5-7-0 month, capped by a 1-4-0 stretch in their last five games, has pushed the Jets outside of a playoff spot in a tightly packed Western Conference.

Seth Jarvis scored three goals and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 in a matchup that featured a pair of rookie goalies.

The Nashville Predators take a two-game win streak into Saturday night's home contest against a struggling Winnipeg Jets squad.

Nick Blankenburg and Luke Evangelista tallied for the Predators, but Nashville ultimately fell to the Winnipeg Jets by a 5-2 final on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena. The result sees the Preds split their back-to-back set as the November portion of their schedule comes to a close.
