WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- If things are supposed to even themselves out in the end, the Winnipeg Jets should come out on top in the back end of their first two games against the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Friday.
All they've got to do is hope the Knights find the same number of distractions in Winnipeg that the Jets did in Las Vegas exactly three weeks ago leading up to a 5-2 loss.
Just-below freezing temperatures at The Forks, the historical meeting place of fur traders 200 years ago, versus the blackjack table at Bally's on the strip?
