After playing an excellent 1st period the Jets slowed and the Canadiens took over and rolled to a 5-1 win as the Olympic break arrives which should put an end to any playoff talk.

While it was a heck of a game, it was the Stars that took it in OT by a final score of 4-3 over the Jets after Thomas Harley scored the game-winning goal. Connor Hellebuyck was rather upset and upon reviewing the video it appears to be because the strap came off his helmet and he likely expected the ref to blow the play dead.

The Jets were down by one heading into 3rd which all season long has been a recipe for disaster but not today in Florida. Winnipeg scores twice in final frame to win it 2-1. Eric Comrie excellent in the victory.

Video Description:

The Jets will be midway through their trip in sunny, but cold, Florida when we hit the airwaves for two hours of hockey talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show. We will reflect on the game they played in Tampa, get you set up for the game in the afternoon against the Panthers and discuss Connor Hellebuyck's play, what they may do with Cole Perfetti and lineup decisions down the stretch.

The Jets hung with the Lightning for a bit but the best team in the East wins this one 3-1 to hand Winnipeg another loss. Tampa improves to 16-1-1 during their impressive run while Winnipeg drops to 21-25-7 on the season.

A big 2nd period propels the Jets to a win over the Devils as they kick off the road trip with a victory.

Four goals in the 3rd breaks open a 1-1 game between the Jets and Wings and results in a 5-1 win for Detroit over Winnipeg. Dear Mama
