Jets continue to rack up wins with 20th home victory of season
The Winnipeg Jets are in full flight.
OK, we could have done a bit better with the plane puns, but seriously, Winnipeg is tearing it up right now - especially at home.
The @NHLJets (32-13-9, 73 points) extended their point streak to eight contests (6-0-2), including a 3-0-1 mark on their active 10-game homestand. #NHLStats #ARIvsWPG pic.twitter.com/nVpyEwf8j2

Following the Jets' victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night, Winnipeg now finds itself sitting in sole possession of the Central Division lead, and a lot of that has to do with its solid performance at Bell MTS Place this season.
Since their Dec. 14 home loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, the Jets have gone 9-0-1 in Winnipeg and currently own the best home record in the league at 20-3-2.
