The Winnipeg Jets tonight, in a nutshell:
A lingering “what could have been” will always ruminate in this market when it comes to Patrik Laine.
But Saturday was a not-so-subtle reminder of the franchise-altering talent the Jets do have: the best goalie on the planet.

Three games into his NHL career, Nikita Chibrikov is a goal per game player.
But even if (when) that changes, the 21-year-old LW shouldn't be sent to the AHL once Nikolaj Ehlers returns.
The #NHLJets need a player like him.

But their response to that loss - a 7 game win streak against quality opponents - shouldn't be overlooked.
