The Winnipeg Jets played host to the Edmonton Oilers at BellMTS Place and earned a 6-4 victory on Jan. 26.

It was fitting the Oilers and Jets faced off against each other on Jan. 26, which was National Hockey League legend Wayne Gretzky’s 60th birthday.

The Oilers and Jets contest had a feel of the classic Smythe Division rivalries between the two teams from the 1980s and early 1990s.

The Jets face off against the visiting Vancouver Canucks on at BellMTS Place on Jan. 30.
