Chris Mason couldn't end the losing ways of the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday. He made his first start of the season in a 4-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes after Ondrej Pavelec dropped the team's opening two contests. Mason made 30 saves in the defeat and said following the match that the Jets need to get their minds back on playing. "We had a lot of build-up before the season, being excited about being back in Winnipeg and all that, and I think maybe the hockey got overshadowed a little bit and we're kind of finding out the hard way right now," he said.
