Welcome back to the NHL Winnipeg.
The Jets re-entered the NHL losing 5 to 1 to the Montreal Canadiens in Winnipeg. The over fifteen thousand fans were not discouraged by the scoreline though.
They chanted go jets go to end the game even though the hometeam trailed by four. In attendance for the sold out game were Prime Minister Stephen Harper and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
It was not all good news for the Canadiens yesterday. Michael Cammalleri and Jaroslav Spacek were injured in the game.
Winnipeg’s next game is in Chicago while Montreal comes home to face Calgary.
Both games are on Thursday.
