WINNIPEG, JAN. 31 - The hockey gods were against the Jets in their last game versus the Canucks. Add to this the fact that Vancouver's defense played really well and their goalie was inspired. The result? A shutout.
The game didn't start well for the home team, with Olli Jokinen scoring an own goal after the puck bounced off Pavelec's pad. The goal was credited to Jannik Hansen. 13 minutes afterwards, with just 30 seconds to finish the first period, Ryan Kesler did a great one-man effort, stealing the puck from the defense and scoring the second goal for the 'Nucks.
For the ensuing two periods, it was a game of one team. The Jets dominated and Vancouver didn't have any other good chance to score, but the visitors parked the bus and played a very physical hockey to secure the win and the shutout.
This was the first time this season that the Jets were held scoreless for an entire game (against the Bruins they scored in overtime after the finishing 0-0 in the regulation time).
Up next for Winnipeg: The struggling Canadiens, at Montreal.
