FORT LAUDERDALE — Paul Maurice is back in Winnipeg, coaching against the Jets for the third time as coach of the Florida Panthers. The Panthers, and Maurice, are Stanley Cup champions for the first time.

Florida handily defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5-0 on Saturday night in Sunrise, and now the Jets get a quick shot at redemption as they’ll host the Cats on Tuesday night from Canada Life Centre. There will surely be some extra motivation on the side of the home team, as the NHL-best Jets come into the game having lost each of their past two outings.

The teams finished with identical 52-24-6 records last season, but while the Jets face criticism the Panthers don't.

First it was Kyle Connor jumping on a loose puck in Florida’s zone and beating Sergei Bobrovsky with a backhand over his glove, and then just over three minutes later, Mark Scheifele wired a wrist shot under Bob’s glove and over his pad from the right faceoff dot.
