The Wild flew home from Winnipeg following Friday night's 4-1 loss to the Jets, practiced on Saturday and headed to their homes.
The Jets, on the other hand, never made it to the Twin Cities. They flew down on Saturday, and their team plane was diverted to Duluth. Without a shot at getting here later in the day, they flew back to Winnipeg and will try again tomorrow morning.
The #NHLJets returned to Winnipeg from Duluth this afternoon due to the ongoing conditions in the Twin Cities. The plan now is to depart tomorrow morning for Minneapolis.
