The Winnipeg Jets found themselves in a hole early and ended up falling to the New York Islanders 6-2 on New Year’s Eve. Former Jet Andrew Ladd scored his eighth of the year for the Islanders sixth goal of the game. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was pulled midway through the third period after giving up four goals on 15 shots.

The Jets will travel to the state of Florida and play the first of back to back games when they play the Tampa Bay Lightning.
