WINNIPEG - After losing the last 2 games in overtime/shootout fashion, the Jets came back to Winnipeg to face an injury-plagued Chicago Blackhawks. The defending Stanley Cup champions came without key players like Patrick Kane and Corey Crawford.
After a slow start, conceding a cheap goal to Bouchard, James Reimer found his groove and did an awesome job between the pipes. Meanwhile, in the offense, Blake Wheeler's hat-trick proved to be too much for the 'Hawks and the Jets came out victorious by a 4 goal margin.
With this result, the Jets are now at second place in the central division with 17 points, 3 behind the leaders from Colorado. For the next game, the Jets welcomes the Red Wings.

Important: this was the first game of the season where the Jets didn't have any penalties called against them.
