Last year the Jets didn’t lose their first game until their ninth game of the season.

While they lost in game 1 this year it was a heck of an ending as Stars take it 5-4.

@icdrew.bsky.social & @icdave.bsky.social break it all down on the IC Post-Game Show.

That’s the 8th straight time Kyle Connor has scored in an opening game of the season for the Jets.

He’s automatic.

And on pace for 82 goals this season.

Jets captain Adam Lowry gets a massive cheer from the Winnipeg crowd.

Perhaps his cheer was aided by having the Connor McDavid of video coaches Matt Prefontaine in the background.
