BOSTON - It’s a brand new season and the slate is supposed to be wiped clean.
But for the many returnees on the Winnipeg Jets roster — and even the newcomers brought on board — this storyline is already a familiar one.
Quite simply, the Jets need to find a way to improve their dreadful road record from a season ago. It’s of the utmost importance.
In a 48-game season, failing to correct their shortcomings away from the friendly confines of MTS Centre could prove disastrous.
Last year’s numbers, themselves, were tough enough to swallow.
A 14-22-5 record was a sore spot for a team that missed the playoffs by eight points in the Eastern Conference standings.
