AFTER the Tampa Bay Lightning visit Friday, it's back to another Central Division matchup Sunday for the Winnipeg Jets when the Minnesota Wild visit the MTS Centre.
The Central Division story has had legs for several days now after last Sunday's intense game between the Jets and St. Louis Blues, won 4-2 by St. Louis.
The Central has piled up 27 wins already through Wednesday, more than any other NHL division.
"It just tells you nothing's changed from last year, that it's going to be a high point total because the teams are probably going to run pretty well until mid-February, then we play all divisional games," Jets coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday.
