You catch all of the action live on TSN Jets at 6pm ct. The Jets boast a 9-2-0 record since Maurice took over behind the bench for the fired Claude Noel in mid-January. The club has won its last three games and Winnipeg can post its second four-game winning streak of the Maurice era with another victory tonight. The surge has helped move Winnipeg within two points of a playoff spot in the West. Washington, meanwhile, has damaged its playoff chances in recent weeks, although it does enter Thursdays tilt only three points out of a postseason spot in the East. The Capitals have lost three of their last four games and are just 3-7-3 over their past 13 outings. The Caps, who until this season were in the same division as the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise, have won five straight in this series against their former Southeast Division rivals. That run includes a 5-4 shootout win in Winnipeg on Oct. 22 when Alex Ovechkin recorded two goals and an assist for Washington. The Jets had a three-game winning streak in D.C. snapped when the Capitals posted a 5-3 home win on April 23 of last season. Ovechkin had one goal and an assist in that victory and the Russian sniper has amassed 81 points (40 goals, 41 assists) in 54 career games against the Thrashers/Jets. Winnipeg has won all three of its games during its current winning streak by one-goal margins and each of the victories came in regulation. The Jets picked up their second straight win by a 2-1 score Tuesday in Carolina, as Chris Thorburn scored the winner with 1:03 to play to down the Hurricanes. The winning goal came as Jacob Trouba skated behind the net and came around the left side in an attempt on a wraparound. It missed the goaltender, but came to the right side and Thorburn slammed it in with 63 seconds left. Andrew Ladd had the other goal and Ondrej Pavelec stopped 28 shots for the win. "It wasnt our best game because I dont think we played to our strengths," said Maurice. "But the structure was deep and our defense was good so thats what pulled us through." The Jets have won the first two games of a four-game swing to improve their road record to 14-14-1. Winnipeg will close the trip this Saturday in St. Louis on the final day of NHL action before the league goes on hiatus for the Winter Olympics. The Capitals were shut out 1-0 in their last outing, as they dropped a home decision to the New York Islanders. Andrew MacDonald scored the only goal of the game early in the third period to account for the decisive goal. Michal Neuvirth made 27 saves for the Capitals, who went 0-for-6 on the power play in the loss. "Every point right now is big," said Washington forward Martin Erat. "It doesnt matter if you are playing the Islanders or if you are playing Boston. You have to play the same way all the time, and we have to get the points from every single game." Washington is 1-1-0 on a four-game homestand that will carry the club into the Olympic break. The residency ends with Saturdays tilt against the New Jersey Devils, who are currently tied with the Caps in the East standings.

Courtney Lawes v Alun Wyn Jones Wales are boosted by the return to fitness of Alun Wyn Jones The second rows contain two men with a point to prove.Alun Wyn Jones returns to the scene of his last appearance before suffering a foot injury. He will be raring to get back into action, especially against the old enemy and it will be an invaluable opportunity to blow off the cobwebs, find some match fitness and test the foot that has plagued him for so long. Jones has been hitting the headlines since his return to the Wales camp, his team-mates championing his presence in training, setting the standards of how things should be done. He is the kind of talismanic figure his side will need to take on the All Blacks and will provide a huge boost ahead of the Twickenham clash. Courtney Lawes (right) will look to force his way back into England reckoning with a strong performance against Wales Another man keen to impress will be his opposite number, Courtney Lawes.The Northampton man was a key figure during the Stuart Lancaster era but has found himself on the outskirts of Eddie Jones plans since the emergence of Saracens duo George Kruis and Maro Itoje paired with the club form of Joe Launchbury. Jones will be looking to the 45-cap international to come to the fore and showcase his trademark physicality while setting the example to the younger forwards around him.However, there is more to Lawes game than just bone-crunching tackles and his athleticism and deceptive turn of pace could prove vital if he is to get the upper hand on the class operator of Jones.Jack Clifford v Taulupe Faletau Jack Clifford gets a chance to shine in the No 8 shirt in the absence of Billy Vunipola The battle of the No 8s is not one for the faint-hearted as an experienced operator takes on a young gun keen to impress.A stand-out performer every time he pulls on the Welsh jersey, Faletau is a key figure in Warren Gatlands pack. The Bath-bound forward was a model of consistency throughout the World Cup and Six Nations, receiving the accolade of the Welsh Rugby Writers player of the season for his performances.Faletau is a strong ball carrier who will provide Wales the go-forward they need to unleash a dangerous looking backline. Despite his fierce approach to the game, he is ever-present in the Welsh line-up and since the first of his 57 caps against the Barbarians back in June 2011, the 25-year-old has racked up an impressive 4,280 minutes of rugby, putting in 596 carries. The ever present Taulupe Faletau will prove vital to Wales chances against England The man who faces the task of silencing the Faletau is Jack Clifford. The Harlequin has big shoes to fill with Billy Vunipola otherwise engaged with club duties, however the versatile back row had a breakthrough season in the Aviva Premiership, leading to five caps from the bench as England secured the Grand Slam.However, dont be fooled into thinking that Clifford is just there to keep the shirt warm for Vunipola. He has been a key cog in the Harlequins machine that reached the Challenge Cup final, providing a turn of pace and relentless work rate in a young and exciting pack.Ben Youngs v Rhys Webb Rhys Webb has looked sharp for the Ospreys since his return from a long-term foot injury After a difficult World Cup campaign, Ben Youngs came out firing and featured in all of Englands Six Nations matches. The scrum-half found himself on the bench for the decider in Paris, making a telling impact in the closiing minutes.ddddddddddddIn club colours, Youngs has returned to his orchestrating best, pulling the strings as Leicester made both European and domestic semi-finals.The eye-catching form of his rival Danny Care will be sure to keep the 2013 British and Irish Lions representative on his toes and he will be key in gelling a team of seasoned internationals and uncapped newcomers.Youngs will come up against livewire Rhys Webb. The Ospreys scrum-half has looked sharp since his comeback from the foot injury that forced him out of the World Cup and regained the Welsh No 9 shirt for their final Six Nations game against Italy. Ben Youngs faces tough competition at scrum-half Despite making just 18 appearances for Wales since his debut against Italy in 2012, Webb has racked up six tries and will be hoping his heads-up style of rugby paired with his composure in the middle will conjure up some magic for Warren Gatlands men.Webb will be fresh and raring to go ahead of his countrys summer tour to take on world champions New Zealand and will be keen to put a marker down in the hotly-contested scrum-half battle.Luther Burrell v Jamie Roberts Luther Burrell says he is over missing the World Cup and is only focused on the upcoming games against Wales and Australia It could be argued that bar Stuart Lancaster, Luther Burrell was the biggest casualty of the Sam Burgess experiment, missing out on a place in the World Cup squad at the expense of the rugby league convert.The Northampton centre will have a big point to prove when he lines up at inside centre against Wales.A dip in form after his World Cup omission has seen Burrell dragged into a battle with young club mate Harry Mallinder for the Northampton centre berth. However, it seems to have been the push the 28-year-old needed, reigniting the passion that had made him one of Englands first choice centres sparking a return to form for the former rugby league man. With Farrell and Slade unavailable due to club commitments and Manu Tuilagi facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, now is Burrells time to stake his claim for the England inside centre spot. Jamie Roberts provides Wales with solidity in both attack and defence However, to impress against Wales he will have to withstand the force that is Jamie Roberts. The Harlequins man is a world-class operator who has chalked up 76 caps for his country and played a decisive role as the Lions took a series victory in Australia in 2013.Roberts, at 6ft 4in and almost 18 stone, provides a rock-solid defensive obstacle as well as the ability to provide a game-making score. In the Six Nations win against Scotland, he put in nine tackles in defence, more than his back three combined, before securing the victory for Wales when he burst over from close range.He is the cement that holds Gatlands backline together and his impact will go a long way to deciding the outcome between the two sides.Watch England v Wales live on Sky Sports 3 HD on Sunday from 2.30pm.
