COLUMBUS, Ohio — An item that wasn’t really a strong suit last season and one that has already caused a little worry in 2015-16 was pretty solid for the Winnipeg Jets Saturday night.
Playing with the lead.
Just last Sunday, the Jets nervously coaxed a 5-1 lead over Minnesota to a 5-4 win on home ice.
Saturday, they put up leads of 2-0 and 3-1 in the first period against the Blue Jackets and despite what the 3-2 score might suggest, put the victory in the books with a pretty even, mostly panic-free effort.
