The Winnipeg Jets took a badly needed day off Monday in the Twin Cities, and, for their sake, let’s hope they hunkered down in a hotel room, resisting the urge to visit Mall of America for fear an escalator ride might result in a high-ankle sprain.
This is a hockey team that cannot afford another banged-up body.
Right now, a swollen injury list is causing some pain and suffering for the Jets, who are feeling the sting of a three-game road skid.
The Jets have seven players from their season-opening roster out of the lineup due to an assortment of injuries picked up during the first six weeks of the season.
