Jets Own Stars

In their first blowout of another team this season, the Winnipeg Jets dominated the Dallas Stars 7-2 last night at the MTS Centre in downtown Winnipeg.

Dustin Byfuglien scored twice and was just inches away from the Jets first hat trick as Al Montoya stood fast and held the fort.  The Jets are now two points richer and move to within four points of the Central division's second wild card spot currently held by these same Dallas Stars.  However still standing in the Jets way are the Phoenix Coyotes and the Vancouver Canucks with 75 and 72 points respectively.

With the win the Jets stop a merciless six-game losing streak that has almost put them out of the playoff picture.
