WINNIPEG -- Captain Andrew Ladd was the first to criticize himself after a 6-3 loss to Columbus on Saturday that had fans booing the Winnipeg Jets off the ice. "Ill take full responsibility for my play. I was awful tonight," Ladd said. "For a team struggling, probably looking for leaders, I wasnt very good so I need to be a lot better and I will be going forward." The loss put the Jets (19-23-5) on a season-high five-game losing streak after the Blue Jackets capitalized on Winnipeg mistakes and breakdowns -- some head coach Claude Noel said hed never seen this season. "Its not easy right now. I mean, its tough to stay positive," said Jets centre Bryan Little, who had a goal and assist. "Its kind of hurting everyones confidence right now. You know, the fans get on you. I mean, its not easy. Its a difficult time that were trying to get through." Boone Jenner and Mark Letestu each scored twice as the Blue Jackets had four straight goals in the first nine minutes of the second period. Cam Atkinson and Nick Foligno also scored, while Curtis McElhinney made 28 saves as Columbus (21-20-4) won its third straight game. "We believe in ourselves in here and we know when we play the way that we can, things will go our way and weve just got to keep focused on that," Jenner said. James Wisniewski and Derek MacKenzie each had a pair of assists for Columbus. Ondrej Pavelec faced 26 shots for Winnipeg, which also got goals from Eric ODell, his first NHL goal, and Toby Enstrom. "Right now, adversity is really the enemy and were not dealing with it very well, and were trying to deal with it," Noel said. "Theres going to be no easy way to get out of it." The second period was especially puzzling. "The game certainly unravelled in the second period on mistakes that were stuff that Ive never seen before," Noel said. Columbus head coach Todd Richards said he talked to his players after the disappointing opening 20 minutes. "Once we talked about things after the first period, obviously our focus and our attitude changed and we came out and started skating, pursuing pucks," Richards said. "We were willing to do the work, we werent waiting for our teammate to do the work. I think each guy took it upon themselves, that this is what I need to do. I need to skate and work." The Blue Jackets second-period barrage began with Letestus short-handed goal. Just nine seconds after Blue Jackets centre Brandon Dubinsky was called for holding 27 seconds into the period, MacKenzie and Letestu went on a 2-on-1 and Letestu deked and put a backhand shot past Pavelec. On that play, Noel noted there was an offensive-zone faceoff, his players decided to forecheck, didnt lock the centre and gave up a 2-on-1. "Weve never done that before. Weve never talked about that before. What is that? I dont know," Noel said. "Its not because they dont care. Lets make sure that thats clear. Theyre frustrated, too." When told of Ladds self-criticism, Noel said the captain places a lot of burden on himself, like leaders do, and hes got to try to help him. ODell scored at 4:32 of the first period during a goal-mouth scramble when he banged in the puck with a backhand while McElhinney was out near the edge of the crease. Recalled from the AHLs St. Johns IceCaps on Dec. 17, ODell was replacing Evander Kane (hand injury) on the Jets second line with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Michael Frolik. It was one of a number of roster changes for Winnipeg. Noel had big defenceman Dustin Byfuglien playing right-wing for the first time this season on the top line with Little and Ladd. That moved Blake Wheeler to the third line with centre Olli Jokinen and left-winger Devin Setoguchi. Noel said Byfuglien, who had an assist, played OK, and he liked that the fans cheered Byfuglien when he touched the puck early. Little said it was tough for the new line combinations to click because penalties shuffled players around, too. While hes faced adversity in his career, it was different in Atlanta than in Winnipeg. "Its definitely magnified when youre in Winnipeg," Little said. "Ive had some tough times in Atlanta where no one seems to care. No ones asking you questions, its not in the papers and people arent in the room after games. "So its definitely more pressure right now to get out of this." Notes -- The last time the Jets lost at least four in a row was late last season from March 28 to April 4, when they went 0-5-0 over that stretch a Letestus short-handed goal was the sixth one allowed by the Jets this season. . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona.

Rankings were weighted evenly between separate lists made by TSN Radio host and soccer analyst Gareth Wheeler as well as TSN.cas soccer editors. 1. Liverpool (Last Week- 2) The 100% start is over but Liverpool still sits at the top of the table after a 2-2 draw with Swansea. Daniel Sturridge scored in his fourth straight game, though this time with a huge assist from his opponents and Victor Moses found the net in his first game with the team. Liverpool are one of two Premier League teams that have not suffered a defeat. 2. Manchester United (LW-3) The big guns were firing for the defending champions as Robin van Persie scored from the penalty spot in the first half and Wayne Rooney fired home a beautiful free-kick in the second half for a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The losing side was reduced to 10-men on the play that spawned the van Persie penalty goal. 3. Arsenal (LW- 5) Mesut Ozil made his debut and Aaron Ramsey made a statement in the Gunners 3-1 victory over Sunderland. The debut winger showed his class with an assist on the Arsenal opener and after Sunderland tied it from the spot, Ramsey scored two second half goals for the victory. 4. Tottenham (LW-6) No Gareth Bale, no problem once again for Spurs who earned a 2-0 victory over Norwich City in their first game following the big money transaction with Real Madrid. Gylfi Sigurdsson answered the call scoring on each side of the half to secure the victory. 5. Chelsea (LW-1) Samuel Etoo making his debut did little to nothing to change the fortunes of Chelsea, who lost for the first time this season, 1-0 to Everton. Chelsea looked the more active of the two squads but were not able to find an equalizer to share the points. 6. Manchester City (LW-4) Former City boss Mark Hughes almost pinned a loss on his old club but had to settle for the 0-0 draw in a game Stoke dominated. City started with Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo up front but they failed to impress in their partnership. Negredo did have a late chance but was unable to convert. 7. Everton (LW-12) There are two teams that have yet to suffer a loss in the Barclays Premier League, and thanks to a goal from Steven Naismith just before halftime of their 1-0 defeat over Chelsea, Everton is one of them. After three draws, Roberto Martinez finally has his first win in charge of Everton. 8 Stoke City (LW-7) The Potters will feel as though they should have been better rewarded for their efforts in a 0-0 draw with Manchester City. Stoke forward Jonathan Walters head wide a clear goal scoring chance early in the first half and Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic almost put the winner into his own net. 9. Newcastle United (LW-15) Things continue to improve at Newcastle after a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa. Under fire at the beginning of the season, boss Alan Pardews fortunes seem to improve with each contest. Though he didnt score, having Yohan Cabaye back in the lineup was a huge boost for the Magpies. 10. Southampton (LW-9) Still llooking for their first home victory of the season, Southampton threw everything they had at West Ham but were not able to come away with anything better than a 0-0 draw.dddddddddddd Rickie Lambert had two clear chances for his side but one hit the post and the other was well saved to protect the goose egg. 11. Cardiff City (LW-12) The Welsh side continued their mid-table existence with a 1-1 draw on the road against Hull City. Peter Whittingham evened the score for Cardiff to earn his side a hard fought road point. 12. West Ham (LW-10) Thanks to the keeping of Jussi Jaaskelainen, West Ham was able to escape Southampton with a point in a game in which they were pushed to the brink. Ravel Morrison made his first start for the Hammers and the 20-year-old showed promise they hope to cash in on going forward. 13. Swansea City (LW-14) What a game, or at least opening five minutes, it was for former Liverpool man and current Swan Jonjo Shelvey. After opening the scoring in the second minute against his former team, he made a horrendous back pass mistake to allow Daniel Sturridge to pot the equalizer. He also picked up an assist on what would be the tying goal from Michu in a 2-2 draw. 14. Aston Villa (LW-11) Villa slumped to their third straight loss this season with a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle. Christian Benteke scored an equalizing goal but the stalemate only lasted for six minutes before they conceded the winner. 15. Norwich City (LW-8) Norwich never really looked to be part of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham. Only the play of keeper John Ruddy and work from the back-line kept the defeat from being worse. 16. Fulham (LW-16) Steve Sidwell had given Fulham the lead, but they looked anything but home and cooled in their game with West Brom. As the game headed into injury time the questions was, could the Cottagers hold on for the victory, the answer was no. 17. Hull City (LW-18) Hull was unable to protect a 1-0 lead over fellow promoted side Cardiff City and were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw. Hull, as the home side, slightly edged the game but a draw was a fair result for both sides in the end. 18. Crystal Palace (LW-17) Things were going to be hard enough for the promoted side at Old Trafford but their fates were sealed when Kagisho Dikgacoi was sent off just before half leading to a Robin van Persie penalty spot goal. There was no way back into what ended up being a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United. 19. West Bromwich Albion (LW-19) The Baggies looked headed towards another defeat and their fourth consecutive scoreless game when Gareth McAuley fired home two minutes into stoppage time for his teams first goal and second point of the season. West Brom had been piling on the pressure leading up to the tying marker. 20. Sunderland (LW-20) Bottom of the table with only one point, Sunderland fell 3-1 to Arsenal in a game that saw their manager Paolo Di Canio sent off. The point of contention was a Jozy Altidore goal that was disallowed due to a foul called on Arsenal when Sunderland felt they should have been given advantage.
