Jacob Trouba Jets — The Winnipeg Jets enter the 2014-15 season looking to make their first playoff appearance since returning to Winnipeg in 2011. The team will need to bring it every night as they go up against the league’s elite teams on a nightly basis. These five games are among the team’s most important of the season.

Look for rising star Jacob Trouba to prove his worth against the Sharks’ high-end forwards.
