Jets turn on fun to flush away frustration from ugly loss

Things were strangely upbeat, boisterous — fun, even — on the ice at Bell MTS Place Wednesday as the Winnipeg Jets hit the reset button after a stunning third-period collapse the night before.

The club went into the final frame with a 4-1 lead over the Edmonton Oilers. But when they trudged back to the dressing room at the end, they had a measly single point to show for it, losing 5-4 in overtime to Connor McDavid & Co.

The players, not the coaching staff, decided to set the mood. After practice, there was an acknowledgement that there hasn't been a jot of joy in Jetsville to begin the season.
