Jets on a Deadline – Capitals 1 Jets 0 (Dec 15, 2011)

Final Score:  Capitals 1 Jets 0

A slow game with an unexpected ending.  A game that many thought would head to OT was lost when Alexander Ovechkin broke a scoreless tie with just over a minute to go in the 3rd period.  This ended the Jets 4 game home winning streak.

Game Recaps:

Winnipeg Free Press: Capitals blank Jets.

Winnipeg Sun:  Capitals ground Jets.

Globe and Mail: Jets beaten at the end of the game.

NHL:  Ovi’s late goal lifts Caps to 1-0 win in Winnipeg.

TSN: Jets loss to Capitals hurts more than others

Washington Post:  Ovechkin scores late.

ChrisD:  Late heroics put Caps past Jets 1-0.

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.
