"Someday, the Winnipeg Jets might be in a position to do the bare minimum and win, something like the Carolina Hurricanes did to them on Monday.

But Monday was not that day for the Jets, and it's not likely to be today, either, when the Jets head into what's been for them a dreaded scenario, games on back-to-back days.

Winnipeg, having lost 2-1 to the lowly Canes and their 16 shots on goal at RBC Center, heads for New York's Madison Square Garden where the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers are waiting for them tonight (6 p.m. CT, TSN Jets, TSN 1290)."
