While the Jets only lost to the league leading Avalanche by a single goal last night they aren’t in a position to be celebrating moral victories.

They need points as they sit below the playoff line with one game to go before the Christmas break.

Connor-Scheifele-Nyquist
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Vilardi
Barron-Lowry-Iafallo

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.
