Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
Winnipeg has now lost three straight games, but picked up a point in at least two of those games. Even though the Jets lost those games, they still aim for a playoff push, but their 5-3-2 record signals otherwise. However, Winnipeg manages to win enough games to stay in the race, but not enough to gain significant ground when it matters.
New York Rangers News & Notes:
New York recently signed Drew Fortescue to a three-year entry-level contract. The prospect is set to join the team and continue to carve out his career. At this time of Fortescue’s signing, the Rangers are the Eastern Conference basement dwellers and have lost their last three straight. The Rangers hold a record of 5-4-1 in their last 10 games played.
