WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Jets completed their fifth set of back-to-back games this past weekend by going 1-0-1. For the first time this season, the Jets lost the first game 2-1 in overtime against the Los Angeles Kings but then won the second game for the first time this season by defeating the Colorado Avalanche 3-0. The Jets will play the sixth game of their eight game homestand on Tuesday night when the Vancouver Canucks come to town for their first meeting this season.
“They have the second-best road record in the league. They are playing well. I know they are on a long trip and won one in Toronto under tough circumstances with the late arrival in Toronto. They are still a good hockey team over there,” said Jets head coach Scott Arniel.
“They have some good players over there, and like any opponent you have to be at your best. They are not going to always hand you things, you have got to take it from them.”
Make sure to watch "The Check In" at 12:30 CT to get you set for the Jets and Canucks.
