Elimination Eval: Winnipeg Jets

The first Western Conference team to fall out of the race for the Cup, up next on Elimination Evals, the Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg and Dallas finished in the top two of the Central Division but man did they draw the short straw in terms of Round 1 match-ups. Despite the Jets having the Avalanche's number towards the end of the regular season with their 7-0 blowout win, they did not have much of an answer for the dominance a team lead by Nathan MacKinnon can bring when it comes to playoff hockey. The series would actually start off in Winnipeg's favor making it their high point of their postseason as they walked out of that game with a big 7-6 win.
