ST. PAUL — He may now play for a division rival, but former Winnipeg Jets forward Matt Hendricks isn't above still dishing out the occasional assist to an old teammate.
Take earlier this season for example. Winnipeg's Brendan Lemieux was under fire — from the public, the media and even his own coach — after taking a pair of reckless penalties during a game against Florida Panthers that came back to bite both him and the Jets. His team gave up a crucial power-play goal on the way to defeat, and Lemieux was suspended by the NHL for two games for a blindside head shot that put his already tenuous place in the lineup in peril.
