LAS VEGAS — All is not lost with the Winnipeg Jets, despite a serious beatdown suffered Thursday night at the hands of the suddenly mighty Vegas Golden Knights.
The Jets were soundly outplayed in a 5-0 defeat to the Golden Knights, who totally look the part of a bona fide Stanley Cup contender.
Winnipeg missed a chance to officially lock up a playoff spot but will undoubtedly do so, possibly as early as Saturday when the Nashville Predators pay a visit. The Jets (44-26-4) have accumulated 92 points and occupy top spot in the Central Division, two points up on the Predators (42-27-6) with a game in hand.
