It looked like another disappointing preseason showing for the Winnipeg Jets through 40 minutes Tuesday night.
Instead, the Jets turned it on in the third period, scoring thrice and then in overtime, Mark Schiefele completed the comeback to give the Jets a 4-3 win, their first of the preseason.
As I eluded to in the Minnesota game recap, it’s just preseason and there isn’t a whole lot to get worked up about. But had the third period not happened and Jets staggered to yet another lifeless loss, this time with an actual NHL lineup on the ice, it would have been an uncomfortable feeling watching them head into the final stretch of the preseason winless and without much to cheer about.
