It was the fourth win in the past five games for the Jets, who traded former first-round pick Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday for center Pierre-Luc Dubois. Because of Canadian regulations, Dubois will have to quarantine for 14 days and likely won't play for Winnipeg until Feb. 9.
