In a continuing story of sports cliches, good teams find ways to win in bad games. That’s exactly what the Winnipeg Jets did at Gila River Arena tonight against the Arizona Coyotes, downing the desert dogs 4-1.
From the Coyotes’ perspective, the scoreboard is a lot uglier than the product on the ice. Once again Arizona took an early lead and eventually lost the match, but it was still the improved brand of hockey we have begun to see since the most recent Eastern road-trip.
Arizona was the better team for most of the night and were composed against the power-house Jets, but ultimately squandered their shot at victory by wasting four power play opportunities.
