The Blues might have felt just a little too good about a six game home winning streak and having a cellar dweller like Winnipeg in town they might have taken their game for granted. Well Patrick Laine and the Jets brought the Blues back to earth with a game that has become routine between these two, close and heavy.
The first period started off with the two teams feeling each other out, gaining a sense of what the new looks on each team brought. The Jets got the first good look of the game when a rebound came free right in the slot but Carter Hutton’s left leg pad was just too quick, denying the Jets the early lead.
