WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- After doing some seriously big game fishing on the West Coast earlier this week, the Winnipeg Jets are hoping to quell a natural disaster when they return home to the Bell MTS Centre on Saturday.
The Jets reeled off their second straight road win, a 4-2 decision over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, but it wasn't their play on the ice that was getting most of the attention. Instead, it was the picture of defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and forward Matt Hendricks -- both of whom are out with injuries -- posing waist-deep in the Fraser River with their prize catch on Tuesday, an approximately 10-foot, 600-pound sturgeon that would have appeared right at home in any Jurassic Park movie.
