Bryan Little was the hero of the night for Winnipeg and the only shooter to score in the shootout tonight as the Jets defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 at the Wells Fargo Center.
The victory not only gives the Jets a 3-0 season series lead but also gives the jets/Thrashers franchise their sixth straight victory in the city of brotherly love dating back to last season. The term "deserved to win" doesn't normally mean squat, but that's just what the Jets did as they played hard, fore-checked well and were helped by goaltender Ondrej Pavelec when needed. This was probably the best road game the Jets played all year and should help their confidence level after a week off from the All-Star break as they continue this road trip for the next six out of eight games.
