Jets Return Home with A Win Against Devils

After a very successful road trip that saw the Winnipeg Jets go 4-1, the boys came home to the friendly confines of the MTS Centre and delighted the crowd with a goal eight seconds in from Andrew Ladd, who continues to lead all NHL captains in goals.  He now sits third in the NHL for goals scored.  His second of the game, that ended up being the game-winner after a independent rush down the right wing by Dustin Byfuglien gives Ladd 12 goals on the year.  The Jets won 3-1 and slip into the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Evander Kane's 8-game point-streak came to an end as he was held off the scoreboard although he was once again one of the hardest-working Jets on the ice with his efforts on the penalty-kill not going unnoticed; helping the Jets keep the Devils power-play at 0-for-two.
Ondrej Pavelec was brilliant again robbing Travis Zajac, Bobby Butler and Adam Henrique multiple times.
