LAS VEGAS—Winnipeg Jets fans have arrived in Las Vegas revelling in the novelty of both their team in the third round of NHL playoffs and coming to Sin City to watch it. White-clad Jets fans such as these have been showing up in droves at T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas to see the WEstern Conference final. “I went to the Jets game the night before, got three hours of sleep, hopped on a plane, went through Vancouver, San Francisco,” Mark Kuriata said. Anthem singer Carnell Johnson hospitably paused during O Canada on Wednesday to allow Jets fans to chime in with their traditional “True North” shout. Even in a self-imposed team bubble, Jets head coach Paul Maurice was aware of the arrival of Jets Nation.
