Even with the embarrassing sting of the two losses to the Washington Capitals still fresh, the Winnipeg Jets gained not only a little confidence before they go on a two-game road swing (probably the toughest of the season-and most important) with a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, but two much needed points to maintain their hold on the South-East division ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes. The Jets now hit the road against Carolina and Pittsburgh before heading back home for a game against the Hurricanes once again.
Toby Enstrom made his big return after missing 19 games from shoulder injury by scoring the winner and Bryan Little had a three-point game with a goal and two assists.
This was a must-win as the Jets were humiliated over the last two games by the Capitals and needed this to build a little confidence before going on a stretch of playing against South-East division rivals.
