The Winnipeg Jets keep falling behind early, though they've been able to overcome those deficits more often than not.
They'll look for a better start Saturday night when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets, who continue to struggle.
The Jets (6-3-1) ended a six-game homestand with Thursday's 3-1 win against Chicago. They gave up a goal at the 1:26 mark, but improved to 5-2-1 when conceding the first goal. They were 11-16-6 when doing so in 2014-15.
Winnipeg has been outscored 7-6 in the first period but holds a 26-18 edge over the final 40 minutes.
