Streaking Jets prepare for playoff clash with star-studded Avalanche - Winnipeg

Sean Monahan was walking his dog when a car drove past him, braked, backed up and stopped. A mother and her son hopped out and approached the Winnipeg Jets forward, who was acquired in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 2. “She said, 'We just wanted to say hi and wish you luck and we're looking forward to watching the playoffs,'” Monahan recalled with a smile. It's one of the reasons Monahan is looking forward to Winnipeg's first-round NHL playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche, which begins Sunday at Canada Life Centre.
