BUFFALO — One step forward. Two embarrassing steps back.
The Winnipeg Jets talked a good game about not letting Saturday’s victory go to their heads. That positive performance against the Nashville Predators was supposed to set the table for better things to come, a reminder they’re capable of success when they actually walk the walk.
So how did they follow-up at the very next opportunity? By tripping over their own feet and face-planting all over KeyBank Center. Monday’s 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres was as pitiful as they come — a quick return to all the bad habits that have become their calling card for much of this season.
