After their win last night, the Winnipeg Jets have just locked down this crucial edge for this year's playoffs, one that could prove massive for their chances.
The Winnipeg Jets are having an incredible season this year, one that has the potential to turn the franchise around. At the beginning of the season, it was widely reported that the Jets were failing to sell tickets. Now, they have an opportunity to sell more home playoff tickets, as they have clinched home-ice advantage in the first round with their win last night.
This is huge for the Jets as they will face a tough opponent in the Colorado Avalanche. Having home ice advantage is huge in the NHL playoffs, with the atmosphere on your side, but also having your routine in place at hiime also goes a long way for players to prepare for games.
