The Winnipeg Jets welcomed the return of the whiteout by storming back late in a game they trailed by two goals. But they couldn’t weather the storm against a relentless Vegas Golden Knights club that managed to find a way to break the hearts of a sold-out crowd at Canada Life Centre Saturday with some overtime heroics.
Thousands of pedestrians filled the streets for the Whiteout party, a modern outdoor celebration steeped in Jets 1.0 tradition. Here are some of the pictures from the party.
