Game 36: Winnipeg Jets vs Minnesota Wild pre-game report

The Jets are looking to kick off the post-Christmas break with a better effort that we saw before the holidays as they have been on a slide although they showed some fight in their final game erasing a 3-0 deficit before losing in OT.

They take on a Wild team that was also on a slide before the break but one that has established themselves as the third best team in the Central.
