It wasn’t a must-win game for Winnipeg but it would have gone a long way to securing top spot in the Central. Instead it’s a missed opportunity as Utah won 4-1. Why a missed opportunity you say? It is because the Stars lost this afternoon to the Penguins in Dallas which meant a win by the Jets would have given them a six point edge in the division (although the Stars would have held a game in hand).
