Rivalry taken to new heights with deadline arms race
The winner of the Jets-Predators arms race will be ultimately declared in the post-season, but the Central Division powerhouses did their best to outmanoeuvre each other before Monday’s NHL trade deadline.
Judging by Friday’s result, a 5-3 Winnipeg victory at Bell MTS Place, another seven-game division final should whet the appetite of any hockey fan. But neither the Jets, 4-6-1 in their past 11 games, nor Nashville, also 4-6-1 over the same span, have performed in the dominant fashion they are accustomed to.
