WINNIPEG, JAN. 18 - It was a wild game with lots of penalties, shots and goals, but the Jets managed to beat the visiting Oilers. James Van Riemsdyk had an awesome performance and helped the Jets build an early 3-0 lead, but it quickly vanished as the match turned into a back and forth battle of scoring.
The special units were a determinant factor in the game as there were a total of 9 penalties, 6 favoring the Oilers and 3 favoring the Jets. But Winnipeg, once again, turned a disadvantage into an advantage and scored a Shorty with J. Slater. Edmonton answered scoring by converting 2 of these 6 power plays.
In the end, the Oilers kept the game close, but an empty netter by Vermette finally iced it for the Jets.
