Notable:

Three assists for Andrew Copp who was buzzing in the O zone this evening.

Video coach Matt Prefontaine certainly earning his salary the last few games. Another goal disallowed after a Jets challenge.

With the goal by Kyle Connor (and that goal was ridiculous) he is now tied with former Jets captain Andrew Ladd on the all time franchise leaders list for goals in the 7th spot with 139.

Nikolaj Ehlers didn’t want to be left behind and he moved into a three-way tie for 7th spot with Connor and Ladd courtesy of his goal in the 3rd period of the Jets win.

Goalie Eric Comrie with 3 wins in 3GP for the Jets.
