On the outside, you’d file Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings under ‘should win’ for the Winnipeg Jets. A trap game is one where a good team, perhaps one with 18 wins like the Jets, comes up against a bad team, Detroit in this case, and ends up overlooking their opponent and losing. “Because we’ve had no arrogance in their game,” Maurice said of his team. Maurice figures the Red Wings played a good game in their 5-3 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. It’s a question that likely won’t be answered until the morning skate prior to puck drop against the Red Wings.
