Despite being down two games to none in their first round series with the Anaheim Ducks, the Winnipeg Jets have a lot to be excited about heading into a pivotal game three.
It will be the first time that Winnipeg will play host to playoff hockey since 1996, and the first time the Winnipeg Jets/Atlanta Thrashers franchise will see playoff action since 2007, the only time the Thrashers qualified for the playoffs during their time in Atlanta.
