Jets continues playing well, win second straight

SAINT PAUL, NOV. 17 - After the embarassing 4-1 loss at Joe Louis Arena, the Jets seems to be a totally revamped team, with a very different play style. The team stopped shooting like crazy and is playing a smart, beautiful hockey, winning two straight games. Of course is a small margin to analyze if the team's style really changed that much, but if they manage to keep it up, it wouldn't be a surprise to see MTS Centre hosting playoff games this season.

Wheeler and Scheifele spoil Cammalleri's hat-trick

WINNIPEG - NOV. 18 - In the second night of a back-to-back, the Winnipeg Jets continued playing well and beat the Calgary Flames by the score of 6-3.
In a closer game than the final result suggests, Winnipeg's defense seemed a bit off sometimes and veteran forward Mike Cammalleri raised the opportunities to score a hat-trick, but Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele had another plans for the game. With GREAT help from goalie Macdonald, both scored 4 points. At the game's closing moments, with the win already under their arms, the Jets launched an all-out attack hoping that Wheeler could score a hat-trick from his own, but it was Andrew Ladd who found the back of the net with 0.1 on the clock.
It was the third consecutive win for the Manitoba squad.

On sad notes, both Jets' defenseman T. Enstrom and Flames' forward M. Cammalleri left the game with injuries. They're still pending evaluation

Chicago's top line is too much for the Jets

WINNIPEG - NOV. 21 - Sharp, Kane and Toews participated in all Blackhawks' goals and proved to be too much for the Winnipeg Jets' defense to handle. The defeat puts an end to the home team's 3 game win streak, but Winnipeg continues to be 2 points above Chicago on the Central Division standings.

Riemsdyk saves the day!

WINNIPEG - NOV. 23 - What seemed to be a boring, defense-heavy game in Winnipeg turned into a thrilling one when Pavelec made 3 saves in a row with less than 30 seconds on the clock. Jokinen got the rebound and passed to James van Riemsdyk, who made a great one-man effort to score the game winning goal with 11 seconds left.
Van Riemsdyk earned first star honours with the goal, his forth this season.

A good start to a road trip

NEWARK - NOV. 25 - After the last win at home vs. the Minnesota Wild, the Winnipeg Jets went on to begin their 6-game road trip in the east.
For the first game they faced the Devils and won in dominating fashion, with the team's offense scoring 6 goals on veteran goalie Martin Brodeur.
For the next one, they make a trip to Long Island to face the high flying forwards John Tavares and Kyle Okposo from the New York Islanders.

Ok people, that's it. Now this thread and my page are even. I already played some games ahead of this one but I still haven't posted it there. Right now, everything posted here is new haha.
Hope you all keep following. Thank you for the patience.

Islanders defeat Jets in the Overtime

LONG ISLAND, NOV. 27 - Neither Kyle Okposo nor Blake Wheeler, the two teams' top goal scorers, did what they do best as none scored a single goal in the battle between the Jets and the Islanders. But Tavares did what he's being doing best and picked up an assist on the first goal, helping the Islanders win by the score of 2-1 despite a Shorthanded Goal from Dustin Byfuglien.

Flyers hand second straight loss to the Jets

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 29 - With Steve Mason back between the pipes, the same Flyers that were blown by the Jets 5-0 two weeks ago now seemed too much for the Winnipeg's team to handle. The Jets even scored first, but Philly managed to turn the score to their favor in the second period. Scheifele started the third equalizing it, but Hartnell finalized his hat-trick with the game-winner. At the end, Reimer was pulled for an all-out attack, but Simmonds' empty netter sealed the game.
