Kris Versteeg doesn't like talking about Winnipeg, according to The Miami Herald. Nothing against the city, but he always knows when he gets asked about it, the conversation usually leads to his success against the Jets.
Versteeg doesn't know why he scores so much against the Jets. He just hope it continues. Versteeg gets a chance to add to his goal totals against Winnipeg on Tuesday night.
"I honestly have no idea why it's like that, and everyone just keeps bringing it up," Versteeg said Monday after the Panthers' light practice at First Niagara Center in Buffalo. The Panthers left for Winnipeg soon afterward.
"It's one of those things I guess," Versteeg added. "I would love it if it worked like that against every team. I don't know if I'm riding anything, but you get bounces and things like that. I hope it keeps up."
Versteeg lit up the Jets last year, scoring seven goals with three assists in five games. Actually, Versteeg was held off the score sheet in the first meeting between the two. So, Versteeg got 10 points in four games against Winnipeg.
Slowed by a groin injury, Versteeg played in his third game Sunday against the Sabres. He has a goal and an assist this season. Guess who he scored them against?
"Sure, guys have a favorite team they like playing against, and there really is no reason for it," linemate Tomas Fleischmann said. "Maybe it's the system they play. But Steeger has great games against Winnipeg. We expect big things from him when we play them."
