RALEIGH, N.C. — With three wins in their last four games, all the Winnipeg Jets have managed to do is keep pace in the NHL’s Western Conference playoff picture.
The gap between them and the final wildcard spot remains large — nine points heading into tonight’s game at PNC Arena against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Winnipeg is unbeaten in its last six road games, 5-0-1, and will go tonight without defenceman Mark Stuart, who broke his hand in the first period of Saturday’s 2-1 shootout win in Edmonton.
