COLUMBUS — A desperate opponent. A tough environment. And another impressive result for a Winnipeg Jets team that kicked off an important road trip in style Sunday night.
Captain Blake Wheeler continued to lead by example, scoring a career-best four times to give the Jets a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Connor Hellebuyck returned from sick bay to make 40 saves.
