WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Two teams hoping to vault back into the playoff race will do battle at the MTS Centre on Saturday night, but only one of them is going to have a good night's sleep.
The Winnipeg Jets got in their SUVs and drove home after their 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night while the Tampa Bay Lightning had to drive to the Minneapolis airport following their 2-1 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild, fly an hour north to the Manitoba capital and bus to their hotel.
