If that’s the kind of leadership the Winnipeg Jets can expect of their leaders the rest of the way, they’ll be on the right track to better days.
Firing from the gate, the team’s top line of Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd staked the team to a 2-0 lead in the first eight minutes, key defencemen Dustin Byfuglien and Tyler Myers also scored, and the spark sent the Jets to a 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers before 15,294 faithful at the MTS Centre.
