AT THE MTS CENTRE
Big picture
The current version of the Jets beats the old version of the Jets in the very city the original Jets used to used to toil in. An exorcism? A hockey cleansing? Much ado about nothing? We’ll leave that up to you to decide. Somewhere down the road here, the history of the old club won’t matter anymore and the old Jets will be just another game on the schedule. It might take a few years, people, but it will happen.
Little picture
The Jets (10-11-4) snapped a two-game losing streak and start the month of December off on the right foot. After a disappointing loss to Ottawa Tuesday and with 11 of the next 13 games at home, Winnipeg needed to get on the winning track and take advantage of the schedule.
Game-breaker
Winnipeg centre Bryan Little scored the only goal of the game, when he corralled a loose rebound at the side of the Coyotes net and tucked it in the empty cage in the first period. It was Little’s seventh goal of the season and all Winnipeg needed to pick up its sixth home victory.
Free Press ★★★
★ Ondrej Pavelec, G, Win-
nipeg, — Broke a personal
three-game losing streak with
a 33-save, shutout perform-
ance. He made some big saves,
specifically towards the end
of the second period when
Phoenix started to press.
★★ Bryan Little, C — As
mentioned, he had the only
goal and created a lot of chan-
ces in the offensive zone. He’s
developed some nice chem-
istry with winger Evander
Kane.
★★★ Kyle Turris, C,
Phoenix — The 22-year-old
had some nice jump for the
visitors. This should comes
as no surprise: It was his first
game back following a lengthy
contract dispute.
— Adam Wazny
