Sean writes for Charting Hockey and always provides great insight into hockey analytics.

Topic 1:  The Jets position in the standings and their underlying numbers.

Topic 2:  The firepower the Jets have and whether they should have better results.

Topic 3:  What has he seen from Connor Hellebuyck and what has he meant to this team.

Topic 4:  Outperforming poor defensive play via the offensive side of the game.

Topic 6:  On Patrik Laine’s play.

Topic 7:  Does Nikolaj Ehlers get enough credit as a play driver?

Topic 8:  What do the Jets need to do to maximize the effectiveness of their D?

After the show Sean tweeted out this for Jets fans about the D:

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
