It will be forgotten soon enough – likely was as soon as those involved pulled off their skates afterward.
That said, Sunday’s Winnipeg Jets scrimmage at MTS Iceplex had just the right amount of intensity and edge to have coach Paul Maurice positively beaming afterward.
For the record, Team Blue beat Team White 5-4 in the intra-squad affair that saw Blue hold a 4-1 advantage then give it up in a 3-on-3 session before Andrew Copp scored his second of the afternoon for the winner.
Brendan Lemieux, Jay Harrison and Dustin Byfuglien also scored for Blue with Mathieu Perreault scoring for White in regulation and Paul Postma, Nikolaj Ehlers and Jacob Trouba in 3-on-3.
