WHILE the Winnipeg Jets’ power play has failed to produce results early in the 2016-17 season, the penalty-killing unit is showing signs of improvement.
The PK unit stuggled in the season-opener as the Carolina Hurricanes made good on two of four opportunities with the man advantage Thursday in the Jets’ 5-4 overtime win at the MTS Centre.
Since then, Winnipeg yielded one power-play goal out of four chances for Minnesota in the Wild’s 4-3 home win Saturday night and then shut out the visiting Boston Bruins on four opportunities Monday.
Indeed, it’s a small sample size.
