Antti Miettinen scored his first of the year off of a point shot by Dustin Byfuglien that turned out to be the winner midway through the third period. Nik Antropov, also assisted by Byfuglien, scored the opener for the Jets before Ryan Callahan tied it at one.
Every Jets worked like a horse, especially Byfuglien, but Ondrej Pavelec earned the first star of the game as he worked himself into a one-game shut-out; making 28 saves, the only goal getting past him being a deflection that changed direction.
Andrew Ladd scored his fourteenth of the season on an empty-netter to ice it for the Jets.
This victory marks the tenth time the Jets have won a game when leading after two periods, as they now sit at 10-1-1 in that statistic. The victory also improves the Jets home record, as they are now .500 with a 6-6 record at the MTS Centre. Overall, they now sit 14-11-2.
The Winnipeg fans also unveiled a new crowd chant as they were on Ranger coach John Tortorella.
This is now added to the vault other original Jets fans chants such as "Crosby's better" and "Silver medal."
