WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- With the man responsible for bringing hockey to Winnipeg in the house, the Jets roared to a quick start and never let up en route to a 4-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night at Bell MTS Place.
They hope to continue their winning ways on Monday in Game 2 of the Western Conference final. This time, however, they'll have to do it without Bobby Hull and his former teammates in the stands.
