ANAHEIM, Calif. – They likely needed some extra ice bags for the overnight plane ride home. But the Winnipeg Jets can soothe their pain a bit with the fact they survived a physical tilt with the Anaheim Ducks and at least came away with a valuable point.
Rookie Jack Roslovic scored his first-ever National Hockey League goal with 13:41 left to play in the third period to tie the game. And while Winnipeg would ultimately fall 4-3 in a shootout Thursday night, players were choosing to look at the glass as being half-full.
They head into the All-Star break in first place in the Central division, with a 29-13-8 record.
