EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Jets iced a lineup stacked with piano movers, not piano players, in the Alberta capital Wednesday night.
And, after a slow start, they still managed to pound out a decent little ditty.
The Jets were minus their top eight scorers from a year ago — Andrew Ladd, Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Mark Scheifele, Dustin Byfuglien, (Michael Frolik, now in Calgary), Mathieu Perreault and Toby Enstrom — but rallied from a 2-0 deficit before falling 3-2 in regulation against the Edmonton Oilers.
Ben Chiarot and Adam Lowry both solved Cam Talbot in third period to end a Jets scoreless drought that dated back to Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Minnesota Wild Tuesday night.
