Jets Beat Blue Jackets to Snap Three-Game Losing Skid

Maybe the Winnipeg Jets should just stay on the road.  It seems to be treating them a lot more kindly.  After staking a two-goal lead, the Columbus Blue Jackets came back to make it close, but the Jets were able to shut this one down in yet another one-goal game, this time 3-2.  It's one of the few times this season that the Jets never lost the lead in the game.

Evander Kane made a triumphant return off of injured reserve with a goal, his eighth; including the winner.  He also had an assist on the Jets first goal, scored by Mark Scheifele; his fourth.

NOTE: Is the Winnipeg Jets, anemic, NHL-worst power-play starting to come alive?  Probably not, especially after only going 1 for 6 on the PP tonight, but it has been stirring the last couple of games as the Jets have notched power-play goals in four straight games.
