WINNIPEG -Mason Appleton described the 6-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings as a "feel good" game, especially given the fact the Winnipeg Jets scored in many ways, and finally got some bounces to go their way.
That feeling carried right into Saturday's practice at hockey for all centre.
"The room feels right," Appleton said after the 30-minute skate. "We're going to keep this thing rolling. I've got no question about that."
Appleton was right back in his usual spot on Saturday, on the right wing with Adam Lowry at centre and Nino Niederreiter on the left wing.
The trio combined for four points in the win over Detroit, with Niederreiter scoring his 23rd of the season in his first game with Lowry and Appleton as linemates.
"It's fun playing with them because you know exactly what you get," said Niederreiter. "It helps a lot. They're very predictable. They know exactly what they do and what their tendency is."
