Jets down worn-out Jackets

COLUMBUS, Ohio — If you subscribe to the NHL theory playing on consecutive nights will involve some weariness on Night No. 2, then the Winnipeg Jets used just enough of the textbook Saturday night on how to take advantage.

With the Columbus Blue Jackets having lost 2-1 in Washington Friday, the Jets surged out to three first-period goals and made them stand up for a 3-2 win over the Jackets before 12,860 at Nationwide Arena.
