Two of the Winnipeg Jets‘ biggest stars are taking a bit of a break. With NHL action set to resume this weekend following the conclusion of the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Jets will take on a pair of Central Division rivals in the St.

The Winnipeg Jets have built an eight-game winning streak on the strength of their scoring depth. They could be even stronger up front coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break with the return of captain Adam Lowry.

Josh Morrissey scored the tying goal in the final minute of regulation and Mark Scheifele got the winner 1:33 into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 for their franchise-record 10th straight win.

Adam Lowry didn’t show up for practice on Wednesday with his face painted with the Maple Leaf on one half, Stars and Stripes on the other – but he may as well have. The Winnipeg Jets captain is in a unique position going into Thursday’s final at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

The Winnipeg Jets packed up their new sun tans along with their eight-game winning streak and hit the air for St. Louis on Friday. A Saturday date with the division-rival Blues (25-26-5) seems as good a way as any for the NHL’s front-runner (39-14-3) to get back in the saddle.

Josh Morrissey tied the game with 26 seconds left to play, before mark Scheifele potted the overtime winner, helping Winnipeg to a 2-1 narrow come-from-behind victory over the visiting San Jose Sharks on Monday. The win improved the Jets' record to 41-14-3 on the season.
