Jets' coach Paul Maurice preaches pace at practice

FARMERS BRANCH, Texas - The word of the day is brought to you by the letter P.

Pace.

You'll have to excuse the Sesame Street reference, but at the end of the day, Wednesday's workout really was about getting back to basics for the Winnipeg Jets, so it seemed appropriate.

Playing with pace is something the Jets haven't been doing enough the past five games and the results have been predictable, as they've earned just three of a possible 10 points in November to slide to 8-6-2 overall.

So as the Jets get set for a date with the Dallas Stars on Thursday after Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild, it wasn't a surprise to see the tempo cranked up a few notches.
