Recently, the team lost to Calgary (2:3), but then bounced back and beat Seattle (3:2 ОТ) and Anaheim (3:2). Usually, the Jets concede under three goals per game - they have the best defense in the NHL at the moment. At home, the team rarely allows more than one goal. Their best periods are second and third.
