We have another Ultimate NHL Playoff debutant and it will be the ’15-’16 Winnipeg Jets. First off, here is the full qualifying tournament results. The ’15-’16 Jets started off the series with a 4-2 win before dropping the next two games. Defenseman Toby Enstrom assisted on three of their four goals in that first game. The ’11-’12 Winnipeg Jets responded with a 4-1 win in Game 2, led by goaltender Ondrej Pavelec, who stopped 52 of 53 shots against. Evander Kane chipped in with two goals in the victory. Kane then posted a goal and an assist, along with Blake Wheeler as the ’11-’12 Jets took Game 3 by a score of 4-3. However, that would be their last win of the series.
Game 4 was tied 2-2 after two periods, but the ’15-’16 Jets rallied off five goals in the third period from five different players to tie the series at two with a 7-4 win. Youngsters Jacob Trouba and Nikolaj Ehlers led the way in the win with a goal and two assists for each of them. Then, in Game 5, Pavelec stopped 38 of 39 for the ’15-’16 Jets as they won 3-1 as Chris Thorburn‘s two points led offensively. In Game 6, Wheeler gave the ’11-’12 Jets a 1-0 lead late in the first, but Ehlers tied it early in the second for the ’15-’16 Jets. The next goal came from Alexander Burmistrov at the 2:38 mark of the second overtime as the ’15-’16 Jets clinched the qualifying tournament victory.
