Winnipeg vs Columbus post-game

The Jets knew they were going to be at least three points back if they won this game given the two teams ahead of them (Nashville and San Jose) were three points ahead of them and were playing each other. A loss meant they would have been five back with just six games to go. Which made this a must-win game in Columbus. And courtesy of Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Connor Hellebuyck that's just what they did picking up a clean two points and ending the four-game road trip with a 3-1-0 record.
