Winnipeg Jets outclassed by Ducks losing 4-1, miss prime opportunity to gain playoff ground

When you get outshot in a game 34-13 you know it probably was not your night. Despite scoring first the Jets were not able to match what the Ducks brought to this hockey game which they may end up ruing as had they won, combined with a Kraken regulation loss, they would have been just three back of the final wild card spot. Instead they remain five back. Big missed opportunity.
