Still finding new ways to lose, the Winnipeg Jets were on the verge of defeating one of the most consistent, disciplined and offensively gifted teams in the NHL (where the Jets went 4-5 on the penalty kill) until a late interference penalty by Toby Enstrom that sealed the Jets' fate with 2:13 remaining in the close-checking third period. The Blues' Alexander Steen (son of Jets great Thomas Steen) made the most of the situation by scoring his eleventh goal of the young season. The Blues won 4-3. The Jets have lost the last five of six and are in dire need of some bounces.
Things won't be getting better soon as the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks visit the MTS Centre on Saturday. Unless things dramatically improve, expect more of the same. That's not to say the Jets are doomed to lose, but they better pull out every single stop they have.
