They may not be bulletproof, but the Winnipeg Jets do not go down easily. When faced with injuries to key personnel, their resolve seems to increase.
Tuesday's game in New York against the Islanders was a prime example.
It was the club's third road game in four nights and with veteran blue-liners Dustin Byfuglien (concussion) and Joe Morrow (lower body) already out, top pairing D-man Josh Morrissey (lower body) took the pre-game skate before being scratched.
AHL callups Sami Niku, Cam Schilling and Nelson Nogier all played a part in Winnipeg's 3-1 victory.
