Here's what happened to the Winnipeg Jets last night (WPG 4, COL 2)

Alright, did you boys sleep well? Hope you did, 'cause the Winnipeg Jets gave us somethin' good to wake up to, eh?

### Your Jets just found a way in Colorado

I'll tell ya what, that was a gritty road win for the Winnipeg Jets last night against the Colorado Avalanche, a 4-2 victory that felt bigger than just two points. Gabriel Vilardi got us on the board early in the first, but Colorado tied it up on the power play. Second period, Cole Koepke put us ahead again, a real good effort from the young fella, but the Avalanche clawed back once more. Then, in the third, Cole Perfetti snagged the go-ahead goal, and Kyle Connor sealed it with an empty-netter. It wasn't pretty, shots were tight at 21-23 for the Jets, but they found a way to grind it out.

This win, bud, it means the Winnipeg Jets aren't giving up on this season. They're 31-30-12 now, still sitting 6th in the Central and hanging on to that Wild Card #5 spot. We're on a win streak, and the boys are 5-3-2 in their last ten. Every single one of these games matters now, eh? The standings are a tight squeeze, and grabbing two points on the road against a divisional rival like Colorado is huge for keeping the faith and making sure we don't fall too far behind.

The mood across Winnipeg this morning, from The Forks to St. Vital, has gotta be a little lighter. It's a Tuesday, but a win like that just makes the coffee taste better, doesn't it? We needed this, and the boys delivered. They showed some real heart, and that’s what we love to see.

From the Peg — Northy says Go Jets Go.
