WINNIPEG -The dam finally broke.
The Winnipeg Jets, who haven't had much puck luck offensively in the last 10 games, finally broke through to the tune of a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.
It was the perfect start to a critical five-game home stand.
"We're a tough team when we play like that," said Mark Scheifele, one of six different goal scorers in the game for the Jets. "When we're on our toes we make it hard to play against, and when we play in the O-zone we're a tough team. That was a big one for us."
Along with the six goal scorers, seven skaters had multi-point efforts in the win which moved Winnipeg to 42-31-3 - Scheifele, Dylan DeMelo, Vladislav Namestnikov, Mason Appleton, Blake Wheeler, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Kyle Connor.
"Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't, and today I think we were able to find some pretty good looks and we've got to continue doing that," said Ehlers. "I think we played well tonight, but we've got six games to go and every single one is a huge one."
