The Winnipeg Jets came into this month playing well. The Jets carried a 4-4-2 record and although the Jets are still at an early point in their season, the start of November was extremely important for the Jets.
There was significance around the first seven games of November because all of these games were home games for the Jets at the Canada Life Centre. The Jets had a terrific opportunity to pick up a considerable amount of points on home ice against six Western Conference opponents and one Eastern Conference team.
It is also worth noting that Winnipeg started this span of games on home-ice already in good form as they were on a six-game point streak.
The Winnipeg Jets played outstanding over this homestand and picked up points in every game except one
Winnipeg kicked off this homestand with a thrilling 4-3 shootout victory over the Dallas Stars. Then they improved their point streak to eight games when they dominated the struggling Blackhawks and beat them 5-1.
The next night, the Jets’ point streak came to an end as they got shut out by the Islanders. This loss was the first time Winnipeg suffered a loss at home ice this season and their only regulation loss during this homestand.
After that loss to St. Louis, Winnipeg then won the last three games of the homestand as they beat San Jose and Edmonton in Regulation and were victorious against the Los Angeles Kings in overtime.
