Jets look to finish off three-game sweep vs. Senators
The Winnipeg Jets seem to have a found a groove early in the NHL season.
Despite one little hiccup -- a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday -- everything seems to be clicking as the Jets head back to Winnipeg for a seven-game homestand.
The Jets took two wins from the Ottawa Senators -- 4-1 on Thursday and 4-3 in overtime Tuesday -- with balanced scoring, solid defense and a strong 1-2 punch in goaltending with Laurent Brossoit and Connor Hellebuyck.
Hellebuyck got the win Thursday, coming within two minutes, 57 seconds of a shutout. Chris Tierney spoiled his chances for a perfect night.
No matter, the 27-year-old logged his 150th NHL win.
