Winnipeg Jets: Three Talking Points as the Jets Beat the Wild 2-0

2. The Jets Start the Second Half of the Season on a High Note

This was the first post-all-star break game for the Jets and it can be considered somewhat as the start of the second half of the season, although this was game forty-three of eighty-two.

The Jets entered this game sixteen points behind the Wild who sit in third place in the division standings and every point from here on out is crucial for the Jets.

Winnipeg was struggling mightly before the break. They entered this matchup after they lost seven of their last eight games that led up to the all-star weekend.

Fortunately, the Jets started the post-break on an extremely high note with a great team victory against the Wild who were on a six-game winning streak.

The Jets won this playoff-type, low-scoring, and physical game, which can be a big boost as they have some more crucial games against divisional opponents over the next week.

The Jets are going to need a similar effort in their upcoming games. Winnipeg is going to need to string wins together if they want to have any shot of chasing down a playoff spot. Hopefully, this win gives Winnipeg momentum going into their next games.
