CALGARY — We’re going to learn a bit more about these Winnipeg Jets over the next couple games. While they’ve managed a 12-5-2 record to start the season, most of that success has come against teams in the bottom half of the standings.
Winnipeg has played five games against NHL squads currently in the top 12 of the league, going 1-3-1. The Jets lost to the No. 1-ranked Nashville Predators, dropped a pair of games to the No. 2-ranked Toronto Maple Leafs, fell in overtime to the No. 5-ranked Buffalo Sabres and defeated the No. 10-ranked Colorado Avalanche.
