Believe it or not, after 19 years a Winnipeg-based team has finally won an NHL game in Montreal.
The Jets 2.0 defeated the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 at the Bell Centre this afternoon. Something the original Winnipeg Jets hadn't done since 1995. The Jets controlled most of the play throughout the game as they took advantage of struggling Habs club.
This win puts the Jets just six points out of the second wild card spot and the eighth seed in the Western conference. It also ties them with both Dallas and Nashville with 59 points in the Central division.
The Jets next face the Carolina Hurricanes in game two of this four game road trip before the Olympic break.
