"Some characteristics of the Winnipeg Jets that have become evident during their rebirth, now 46 games old:

-- They are a solid, occasionally dominant home squad, often lifted up by the rabid fans at the MTS Centre;

-- They struggle on the road with a 7-12-4 record outside of Manitoba;

-- When it comes to sequels -- the second of back-to-back contests in as many nights -- they absolutely, positively stink.

Buoyed by their work in a 2-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators Monday night, the Jets followed up with an atrocious performance less than 24 hours later in a 5-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils in front of an announced crowd of 14,129 at the Prudential Center."
