Recap:

Tonight’s game was a bit of a chess match for the first 60 minutes. The Jets had a Carl Dahlstrom goal disallowed with under 10 minutes remaining in the 3rd period due to a Mark Scheifele offside.  The 3-on-3 Overtime was pure adrenaline with scoring chances all over the ice but the shootout was ultimately needed and Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine scored while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid were stopped by Connor Hellebuyck.

The Jets are now 5-5-0 on the season with one game left on this five-game homestand.

Coach Maurice:  Defensive effort of his club.  Play of Connor Hellebuyck.  Winning his 700th game.  Did he ever imagine winning this many games?  The players honouring him post-game.  How close did that game look to this team’s identity?  Does he get caught up in chasing the pairing McDavid/Draisaitl pairing?  Having veterans like Little around to celebrate his 700th.  On the last week.
