Other than padding their numbers at Bell MTS Place, such as, you know, wins; the Winnipeg Jets played probably their dullest game this year. Not just because of one goal scored by both teams, but because the action was slowed. More than average stoppages in play, neutral-zone turnovers, battles along the wall...just...boring. That's not to say there's wasn't any excitement, as Blake Wheeler and Patrick Laine did their thing to entertain, but it just wasn't...great.
Mind you it's all about the two points, so, la dee da.
Patrick Laine got the only goal of the game, scoring his 21st on an assist from Wheeler, that was Wheeler's 40th assist of the season.
Connor Hellebuyck earned his 25th win and fourth shutout of the season.
The Jets remain one point ahead of the Nashville Predators for first place in the NHL's Central division.
