The Winnipeg hockey club jets into town to take on the St. Louis Blues tonight in another game involving divisional rivals. This will be the tenth game (of 25) this season for the Blues against other Central Division foes. The Note has done quite well, sporting a 6-2-1 record, with victories over Chicago, Colorado, Nashville, Dallas and two against Minnesota. The losses were to Dallas, Chicago (in overtime) and Nashville.
It is difficult for many hockey fans today to understand the history of the Winnipeg Jets since two different franchises have had that exact same name.
The original Winnipeg Jets entered the NHL as refugees from the World Hockey Association in 1979.
