TREVOR HAGAN / WINNIPEG FRESS
A group of Jets fans gathered at Carnival Court on the Las Vegas strip, Thursday, November 9, 2017.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — They've crossed paths with fans on the street. Outside the practice rink. In hotel lobbies. And inside restaurants and shows. Now the Winnipeg Jets will get a chance to compete in front of what is expected to be the largest contingent of locals to ever follow them on the road.
A few thousand Manitobans are believed to have made the trip to Sin City this week and could be in the crowd when the Jets take on the Golden Knights for the first time at 9:30 tonight.
