WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Fans of the Winnipeg Jets are about to find out if their team is for real or just a tease.
After winning a pair of games on the weekend to pull within three points of the second wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference, the Jets will need to steal some points from last year's Stanley Cup combatants to prove they are for real.
The runner-up San Jose Sharks come to town on Monday, followed by the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday and the red-hot Calgary Flames, winners of seven consecutive games, on Saturday to wrap up a season-high, six-game homestand.
