Game 1 of pre-season post-game report: Wild 3 Jets 2 in shootout

In a penalty filled affair the Jets dropped the first game of the pre-season to the Wild 3-2 in a shootout.

Post-game audio:

Connor Hellebuyck

Patrik Laine

Brendan Lemieux

Logan Stanley

Coach Maurice:  Hard to evaluate that game with all those penalties?  How tough was it for Kyle Connor to get ice time in that type of game?  What did Tucker Poolman show him tonight?  Thoughts on Connor Hellebuyck’s game?  How did he like Brendan Lemieux’s game?  How did he like the power play from the Jets?  Thoughts on his top six?

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.
