The Winnipeg Jets are celebrating Black Friday in style by playing division rivals the Minnesota Wild this afternoon. The Jets are finally starting to come around five on five, with Patrik Laine capitalizing on some of his chances finally. Outside of that, the Jets are still a mess defensively and maybe they should try Sami Niku at some point, but that’s just me. Also, Sami Niku should play soon as he needs to play as a youngin’.
