Jets improved to 3-0-1 to start the season with tonight’s 4-1 win over the Canucks and are 4-2-1 overall this season. They’ve got three more home games in this six-game home stand.

For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats here are the results from tonight’s game via Natural Stat Trick.

Notable:

– Patrik Laine’s power play prowess continues as he scored his third PP goal of the season;
– Blake Wheeler recorded the primary assist on Laine’s goal which was his 500th with the organization;
– Byfuglien had his first goal of the season and added two assists;
– Bryan Little had a goal and an assist, his second game winning goal of the season;
– Andrew Copp also had his first goal of the season.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
