from Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press,

Late in Thursday's first period at PNC Arena, most of it being run by the visiting Winnipeg Jets, a disgruntled Carolina Hurricanes' fan in Section 328 bellowed: "For gawd's sake, these are the Atlanta Thrashers."

Not Thursday.

And not for a while in this 2014-15 NHL season.

The Jets stayed with their buckle-down style of game against the Canes and scored a 3-1 victory to stop the home team's six-game (5-0-1) points streak before a sparse crowd announced as 10,005.

It was another tight contest -- Winnipeg owns the distinction today of having played the lowest-scoring games in the NHL so far this season -- won by a pair of deflection goals by Blake Wheeler and a late empty-netter by Michael Frolik, making a winner of backup goalie Michael Hutchinson.

The visitors dictated the style and earned the two points to make their mark 7-1-2 in the last 10 games. The amazing part of that is that in the process, the Jets have scored 18 goals and given up 14.
