One by one they filtered into the Winnipeg Jets dressing room... Marko Dano, then Alex Burmistrov, Jacob Trouba, Joel Armia and Nikolaj Ehlers. J.C. Lipon, still recovering from a bum shoulder was there, too. And Nic Petan, Chase De Leo, Andrew Copp...
And then it hits you like a slap across the face: we are all aging by the second, but this Jets team seems to be getting younger by the day.
It’s by design, of course, as the Jets — long since out of the playoff picture — have been shutting down guys with lingering injuries for a while now and replacing them with prospects.
