5 days between games followed now by 4 days between games. If Jets lose today, they can't blame it on hockey fatigue.
Jets have a full 4 game lead on the Wild in the standings, which makes this home and home series huge for both teams. Great chance for the Jets to push the Wild out of the race for top 3 positions in the Central, and for the Jets to stay in the hunt for #1.
Minnesota has been very good lately, winning 4 in a row, 7-3 in their last 10. Last game aside, Jets have been even better, 7-1-2 in their last 10.
Too bad these have to be afternoon games...Jets often play them like they have a hangover.
From Illegal Curve (early guess): Jets projected lines & D pairs:Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi Perfetti - Namestnikov - Iafallo Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton Barron - Toninato - Jonsson-Fjallby Morrissey - DeMelo Dillon - Pionk Samberg - Schmidt Hellebuyck Brossoit
Go JETS GO!

The end results in the afternoon haven't been too bad this season....3-1 record. Though none of the games saw Winnipeg play near their top level.
6-4 win over FLA, 5-3 win over ARZ, 3-2 loss to DAL on 4 pm starts. 3-1 win over CHI on a 2 pm start.
These two games versus the Wild will be the 1st 1 pm starts for Winnipeg this year. I won't be around for the game due to a family thing, so will give an early "Go Jets Go" cheer now.
On an unrelated note, was looking at the Jets skill competition results and noticed that AJF was unsurprisingly the quickest Jet. However, didn't know that Barron won the team award last season and he actually had a quicker time that Jonsson-Fjallby did this season. Can't say that I ever really noticed that Barron was quick.

Go JETS GO!
GO JETS GO, get the win in regulation time, can’t afford to gift any points to a Central Division rival. This is a very important home and home series against a Division rival, swing points series, step on the Wilds throats Jets, flex your muscles against a weaker opponent, don’t let Minnesota close the gap on you.

This could be a tough pair of games. And interesting. Back to back against the same team means no time for hard feelings to wear off. Win both and the Wild would have a hard time catching us. Lose both and they are in the race with us. Go Jets Go !
