There are a lot of things we all know about the Winnipeg Jets. One of the worst things is that when they are in the hunt for first, they fold. It seems they don't like it there, or don't feel they belong there, or some may say it's just fate that keeps them from there.
Well here we go, everything is lined up perfectly to spend at least one day in first place in Central, 26 games, that's almost 1/3 of the way into the season! Dallas and Colorado both lost last night the Jets opponents tonight (Ducks) are 1-9 in their last 10.
Can the Jets take advantage? Of course they can. I think Jets will be atop the Central by around 10pm CST tonight...for one day, and then we'll take it one day at a time from there.
Namestnikov may be ready to play tonight. Love Nammy, but after that absolutely stellar game the Jets played Thursday, it will hard if not criminal to pull a forward out to make room for him.
It also appears coach thinks Stanley has done enough to deserve another game instead of Schmidt. I agree.
Jets projected lines & D pairs:
Connor - Scheifele - Ehlers Perfetti - Vilardi - Iafallo Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton Barron - Gustafsson - Jonsson-Fjallby / Namestnikov
Morrissey - DeMelo Dillon - Pionk Stanley - Samberg
Hellebuyck Brossoit
Go JETS Go!

GO JETS GO, get the win! We are playing a much weaker opponent tonight. Elite teams beat weaker teams. If you can’t beat the weaker teams/opponents, you are not an elite team, you are just middle of the road. C’mon Jets, beat the weaker team/opponent. Beat the weaker team/Ducks tonight, you are then in first place in the Central with a game in hand. GO JETS GO👍!

Hellebuyck has been standing on his head lately, allowing 2 or fewer goals in each of his past 7 starts. Let's keep that up tonight!!
Moose Update: Brad Lambert picks up 2 points in Manitoba's win over Calgary this afternoon, including the OT winning goal. Kristian Reichel ended his goal scoring drought and netted his 1st & 2nd goals of the season in the Moose victory, while Jeffrey Viel also had a pair of points as the 4th line finally found some offense.

Jets had a habit playing down to the level of the competition. Cost us a lot of games. And in those games it was often their goalies standing on their heads. Made some of them Vezina trophy winners for day.

Namestnikov drawing a penalty...making an immediate impact upon his return. Let's score one.

Some good puck movement and looks but no prize.

PP#2 had a good chance at the end but not much to show otherwise.

That 2nd PP was pretty ugly.

I wonder what the attendance is ? There's a ton of empty seats.

Kind of disappointing to have no goals after the first but at least we're not losing.
