Ducks 4 Jets 1:
Illegal Curve: Coach Maurice post-game scrum. What made this the right start for Hutchinson? Where were the Jets lacking tonight? How the 1st period set the tone. Was the team out of gas? On the penalty kill. How much does the inconsistency drive him crazy? Any idea on the cause of the games that he doesn’t like? On getting Scheifele back in the lineup. Good to have options.
