The Winnipeg Jets are hoping to avoid the distractions that come with being one win away from making the first conference final in the city's history. The Jets got to within one victory of clinching their second-round series with the Nashville Predators on Saturday after surviving an early onslaught before pulling away for a well-earned 6-2 road decision in Game 5. Jets rookie Kyle Connor added his first two playoff goals to help Winnipeg to a 6-2 win over Nashville to take a crucial 3-2 series lead. "We're going to go there, we're going to win a game, we're going to come back here. "They fight to the very end every single game," Wheeler said.
