EDMONTON – The good times keep rolling for the Winnipeg Jets as they capped off the 2017 calendar year in style, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 in a New Year’s Eve affair Sunday night at Rogers Place.
The Jets improve to 23-11-6 with the win and now have victories in three straight since returning from the Christmas break, two of which have come against the Oilers. Winnipeg also reclaims top spot in the Central Division with the victory, one point ahead of the Nashville Predators, who have two games in hand.
They also inject some life into their current road woes; the Jets entered the game 1-5-3 in their last nine games away from Bell MTS Place.
