Sunday evening’s contest between the Jets and Blackhawks had much larger implications for Winnipeg, as they are fighting for a playoff spot. However, while the Blackhawks postseason hopes are all but lost, Chicago did not go away easily in what was a rather eventful game.
Although they were able to come within one-goal of tying the game, the Blackhawks could not salvage a comeback and ended losing the match-up 6-4.
The first period saw a lot of back-and-forth before Nikolaj Ehlers opened the scoring, giving the Jets a 1-0 lead, 9 minutes into the game.
