ST. PAUL, Minn. — The crossroads of the Winnipeg Jets’ NHL pre-season comes Sunday, with Game 4 of the tune-up schedule slated for 5 p.m. at the Xcel Energy Center against the Minnesota Wild.
The Jets have failed to win their first three outings this September. Problem?
Not even close.
The organization, in fact, has discovered it has some difficult decisions in the days directly ahead. This is exactly what an organization prays for, especially when it orchestrated the unknown in the first place.
Declaring open jobs without actually declaring them — declining to sign UFAs Jim Slater, Lee Stempniak, Jiri Tlusty and Michael Frolik were non-actions that needed no words — the Jets counted on their system depth to provide the answers.
