WINNIPEG -- It was back to business for the Winnipeg Jets Wednesday, as they skated for the first time since the Olympic break and prepared to resume their quest for the playoff berth that has eluded the franchise for so many years. Timo Meier Sharks Jersey . With 22 games left and just over a week till they play again, coach Paul Maurice says he wants to get started right away sharpening defensive neutral zone play and forechecking without the puck. "Our sole focus is trying to find ways that we can be more aggressive with it," he said. The Jets were still minus their four Olympians -- forwards Olli Jokinen, Blake Wheeler and Michael Frolik, plus No. 1 netminder Ondrej Pavelec remain in Sochi -- but they made up for that with a healthy Evander Kane, Jim Slater and Matt Halischuk, all back from the injury list. Slater was out the longest after sports hernia surgery in Montreal. The centre and one of the teams faceoff leaders last played Oct. 18 but he says he now feels strong and ready to compete. Its a far different team than the one he left, with the Jets on a roll since Maurice took over from Claude Noel. They now sit just two points out of that coveted playoff spot. Slater says its always tough to be on the sidelines when a new coach comes in. "The slates wiped clean and when you cant get out there and play and show him what youve got, its definitely tough, you dont know where you fit in," he said. But Maurice helped to set his mind at ease. "Ive played against Paul a lot of my career when he was in Carolina, so we had a talk, he knows what kind of player I am and just wanted me to get healthy, come back strong and ready to go." The focus may be on getting his team ready for their first game Feb. 27 when the Phoenix Coyotes visit Winnipeg, but Maurice says hes still arranged practice Friday to let the team watch Canada and the U.S. play in the Olympics. "Weve moved practice so that we can get together and watch that as a team," he said. "Its a big deal so we want to respect that and enjoy it. . . At the end of the day hockey events are what were all about, right, and this is a big game." Its been seven years since the Atlanta Thrashers were swept in the first round of the NHL playoffs in their only appearance. Kane last played Jan. 26 in Chicago. He was out twice with an injured hand, the second time after what turned out to be a premature return resulted in an infection that saw his hand swell to the size of a baseball. He says hes sure hell be ready to go Feb. 27 and he likes where the Jets are now sitting. "We put ourselves in a position now where we can make a push and we have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs and contend," he said. "The last part of the schedule we play the teams that kind of bunched in with us so its going to be an good opportunity for us to make a push and finish off strong." Team captain Andrew Ladd says the time to practice will help the Jets get their pace back up. "I think that was the best part of our game, the last 10 games or so . . We were playing (with) speed and confidence and weve got to find a way to get that back." He said its also good to see players like Slater and Halischuk return after long absences. "Its nice to have some extra bodies." Tomas Hertl Jersey . There were no real chances until Augsburg broke the deadlock through Raul Bobadilla in the 33rd minute.

England were bowled out for 204 chasing Bangladeshs 239-run target - Jos Buttler top-scoring with a run-a-ball 57, although he was visibly upset at something said to him by one of the home side when given out lbw, as tensions threatened to boil over.Buttler had put on 79 for the fifth wicket with Jonny Bairstow (35) as England rallied from a disastrous start of 26-4 inside the first 10 overs which saw Ben Duckett and first ODI centurion, Ben Stokes, fall for ducks. Ben Duckett fell for a duck in the second ODI following his 60 on debut Mashrafe Mortaza (4-29) took three of those first four wickets, in a fine days work from the Bangladesh captain, after he had smashed three sixes in a 29-ball 44 to lift the home side to a respectable score.Bangladesh were struggling at 169-7 when the captain came to the crease, despite 75 for Mahmudullah - the scorer of a hundred when Bangladesh knocked England out of the 2015 World Cup.After Buttler won the toss and inserted the opposition, Chris Woakes (2-40) swiftly dismissed Bangladesh openers Imrul Kayes (11) and Tamim Iqbal (14) to short-pitched deliveries.

Mortaza then translated his fine form with the bat into a stellar start with the ball, getting James Vince (5) to drive to backward point.That triggered a mini-collapse by Englands top order as four wickets fell for 14 runs - Shakib bowling Duckett before Mortaza added the strikes of Roy (13) lbw and Stokes bowled.A fine knock by Buttler - receiving solid support from Bairstow - helped recover the innings, with Englands stand-in skipper finding joy by charging at the Bangladesh bowlers and knocking them off their length. Nick Knight and Nasser Hussain discuss the second ODI between Bangladesh and England and its implications on the final match on Wednesday. But Taskin Ahmed (3-47), who was taken for 19 runs from his first two overs, returned brilliantly, picking up the key wickets of Bairstow caught behind, and Buttler lbw - when walking down the pitch once too often - either side of Nasir Hossains dismissal of Moeen Ali (4).Things threatened to heat up as a visibly upset Buttler took exception to something said to him when leaving the field, but the game itself petered out to a fairly routine win for the hosts, despite entertaining cameos from Rashid (33no) and Ball (28) down the order.Watch the third and final ODI between Bangladesh and England on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 2 from 9am.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
