The Jets have gone streaking as they won their third straight game last night defeating the Islanders in a wacky 5-4 game which saw the teams combine for seven goals in the middle frame. The improved second line continues to be a big contributor which is a big reason that Winnipeg has started to win games again.
We didn’t get much insight from head coach Scott Arniel when it comes to the health of Colin Miller and Haydn Fleury other than they are considered day-to-day (although with Fleury it seemed like Arniel was reluctant to agree with that assessment saying “he hasn’t even touched the ice”). There also hasn’t been much clarity when it comes to Morgan Barron who has been sporting a yellow, non-contact jersey since returning to the ice last Saturday. His last game was against the Oilers on the 8th.
Skate news:
