SEATTLE – One step forward, one step back.
The Winnipeg Jets built a one-goal cushion over two periods, but couldn’t close it out, allowing three goals in the third period – including one into the empty net – to lose 5-3 to the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
Rather than build on Tuesday’s 5-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks, the Jets clearly recognize there is still plenty of work to be done when it comes to the structural breakdowns that have been more prevalent than expected during the first quarter of this NHL season.
The Jets, who slipped to 10-7 on the season, have won just once on this six-game road trip (1-4), which wraps up on Saturday night in Calgary against the Flames.
Let’s take a look at what else took place in this one:
