Winnipeg’s seven game home winning streak has been taken out with a massive thud by the Chicago Blackhawks who provided a sharp reminder that the Jets are still a ways away from making the Central Division their playground after a 5-1 loss on Thursday night.
As always let us know what you liked (probably not much) and didn’t like (pretty much all of it) about tonight’s contest (and we use the word ‘contest’ oh so liberally) by commenting below or letting us know how you feel on our Twitter feed!

HOW DID THEY CORSI?
Matchups are limited to 5-on-5 situations. Tile size is scaled by Time On Ice and colour is scaled by adjusted Expected Goals differential. Blue represents a home team advantage and red represents a road team advantage.
PLAYERS OF THE GAME
For Winnipeg: Nik Ehlers – Look, given how they played probably no Jet deserved any kind of kudos tonight, but if we have to give it to one, then you give it to the one guy who did manage to score a goal.
For Chicago: Nick Schmaltz – Had a fine game with a goal and assist and doing a little bit of everything to help the Hawks get the win.
NEXT FLIGHT
Doesn’t get any easier for the Jets now as they kick off a home and home series with the West leading St. Louis Blues on Saturday night in St. Louis.
