There isn’t a singular moment that shattered the Winnipeg Jets’ playoff hopes this season, but Saturday night’s 7-4 loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning is analogous to their season-long disappointment.
Lots of back and forth to start the game, couldn't quite close it out. Back at it again on Tuesday against the Rangers!
