DETROIT — There's no place like home. And for four members of the Winnipeg Jets, the annual regular-season trek to Detroit will always be special, a chance to remember where they came from and how far they've come.

"We definitely have a little bit of a Michigan-versus-the-world vibe in the room for sure," forward Andrew Copp, the 24-year-old from nearby Ann Arbor, said before tonight's meeting with the Red Wings.

Between Copp's family and friends, and those of fellow Michigan natives Connor Hellebuyck, Jacob Trouba and Kyle Connor, you could probably have blocked off an entire cheering section at spacious new Little Caesars Arena.
