After a season-long winless skid that extended to five games, the Winnipeg Jets momentarily got back into the win column and first place in the NHL's South-East division after defeating the Philadelphia Flyers at the MTS Centre 4-1.  This put the Jets back into sole possession of first place in the South-East, two points ahead of the Washington Capitals.  At least until the Capitlas/Carolina Hurricanes game is concluded this evening.

UPDATE:  Washington defeated Florida, 4-3.  They now re-take first place in the South-East division based on fewer games played.
