After a 4-0 loss to the New York Rangers on Monday night, the New York Islanders knew they needed to bounce back. They responded in a big way in front of their fans at UBS Arena, beating the top team in the NHL in the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Tuesday night in the second half of a back-to-back set.

The Jets (42-15-4) are coming off a tight 2-1 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, but are still 7-1-1 against the Metropolitan Division this season. One of Winnipeg's seven wins against Metropolitan Division teams came just before the 4-Nations Face-Off when they earned a 4-3 victory over the Islanders at Canada Life Centre.

The New York Islanders (28-27-7) defeated the Winnipeg Jets (42-16-4) 3-2 on Tuesday night in UBS Arena. It couldn’t have been more poetic if it is indeed the send-off game for Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri.

A big group of Jets players hit the ice on Monday for an optional practice in Winnipeg as they prepared for four games on the road starting tonight in New York against the Islanders. While the group isn’t happy that they’ve gone 0-1-1 after winning 11 straight you got the sense from the players that spoke that they know that the final stretch will involve hockey that is quite a bit tighter.

Winnipeg's players will be glad to have Brandon Tanev and Luke Schenn, even as Jets management set its sights higher and missed.

Josh Morrissey and Nikolaj Ehlers each scored on the power play but it wasn't enough as the Jets lost their fifth straight road game against the Isles.
