Top trio strikes for three goals as club continues to bounce back from miserable stretch

Wrapping up wins in the NHL doesn’t always involve decorative paper, accented with a matching bow and glossy ribbon.

Sometimes, newspaper and duct tape and good intentions work just as well.

There were a few "wow" moments Sunday afternoon at the MTS Centre, but for the most part the Winnipeg Jets secured their second straight victory at home with a simple, well-executed scheme that proved mighty effective.

After a scoreless first period, the Jets got a dynamite goal from Patrik Laine — his 18th of the year — in the second period and then put in the work defensively to close out the day with a 4-1 triumph over the struggling Colorado Avalanche.
