Jets' Little: 'We're getting ready for Nashville ... or whoever wins'

Bryan Little wasn't going to spend too much time celebrating the first playoff series win in franchise history.

The Winnipeg Jets center said it was definitely nice to get the series win over Minnesota, but they're looking forward to continuing the run, and apparently Little knows their next opponent.

"We're celebrating for half an hour in here, then we're getting ready for Nashville," Little told reporters before quickly covering his tracks by adding, "Or whoever wins. Don't want to get ahead of myself.

That caveat is necessary, as the Predators failed to close out their series with the Avalanche on Friday, with Colorado pushing it to a sixth game Sunday in Denver on the strength of some heroics from Andrew Hammond.

A Jets-Predators showdown has been anticipated for some time. Little, however, has given the Avs some bulletin board material, at the very least.

Little has been with the Thrashers/Jets since being drafted 12th overall in 2006, and the five playoff games so far this season mark a new career high.
