Winnipeg Jets
Lopsided loss not as damaging as it could have been for the Jets
6 minute read Friday, Mar. 20, 2026PITTSBURGH — There once was a time in the National Hockey League when a putrid performance like the one the Winnipeg Jets delivered Thursday night in Boston would have carried some painful consequences.
Namely, a next-day practice filled with skating, skating and more skating — and perhaps nary a puck in sight.
But those “old-school” days are long gone, which is why Friday was all about rest and recovery for the Jets. Only a handful of players took part in an optional skate, while the majority stayed back at the team hotel for workouts and video sessions.
“Just reset. That’s a big thing. Do what everybody feels like they need to do today in order to be ready for tomorrow,” said rookie forward Isak Rosen, who was one of the few to hit the ice.
Winnipeg Jets
CHICAGO — Scott Arniel clearly understood the challenges of facing the 31st team in the NHL standings were considerably different than facing the top team, like the Winnipeg Jets did in their past two games.
But the head coach gave his group a quick mathematics lesson as part of his message before they faced the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.
“Two points against Chicago are the exact same two points against Colorado,” said Arniel. “We have to make sure what we did the other night is a constant. It isn’t changing because we’re playing a different team.”
Well, the outing wasn’t quite as crisp as the recent 4-2 triumph over the Avalanche in Denver, but the final outcome brought the two points Arniel was seeking after a 4-3 overtime victory that pulled the Jets within one point of the final playoff spot in the western conference.
