The Jets were in western Florida on Thursday night where they ran into a surly Lightning club in Tampa who was winless in four games and had been off for six days getting ready for last night’s contest. Winnipeg looked a step behind throughout the night and they ultimately lost their second game of 17 they’ve played this season by a final score of 4-1.
