Jets lose 4-1 to Blue Jackets
7:38 PM
The Winnipeg Jets fell 4-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday at Canada Life Centre.
Kyle Connor opened the scoring in the second period, but that’s all the offence the home team could muster. The Jets were playing for a second straight day, and third time in the past four days, and seemed to run out of gas.
Columbus scored three times in the third period to pull away.
Winnipeg is now 20-9-0 on the year. Columbus improves to 12-12-3.
The Jets return to action Tuesday when they host the Boston Bruins.
