Recap:

A crazy 2nd period which saw the Jets erupt for five goals on 11 shots.

– Kyle Connor (5) from Wheeler (20) and Scheifele (12)
– Patrik Laine (10) from Ehlers (5) and Little (6)
– Jacob Trouba (1) from Connor (5) and Scheifele (13)
– Matt Hendricks (2) from Perreault (3) and Armia (3)
– Mathieu Perreault (3) from Hendricks (2) and Armia (4).

For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats here are the results from tonight’s game via Natural Stat Trick.

Notes:

– Patrik Laine continues his points streak as it hits eight games (6G 3A);
– Jacob Trouba scored his first goal of the season;
– Tobias Enstrom left the ice in considerable pain in 2nd, returned to play rest of period, didn’t play 3rd.

Injury Update:

Coach Maurice didn’t have an update following the game on the status of Tobias Enstrom but expects to know more tomorrow.  However, while the Jets will hold a media availability (no skate) before leaving for Nashville, coach Maurice won’t be available to speak.  The Moose play at 2 pm so if someone is going to be recalled we will know tomorrow.

Coach Maurice:  Assessment of the game.  What did he think about the Jets response to the Gibbons goal?  On Kyle Connor going to the dirty areas.  Severity of the injury to Enstrom?  Chemistry of Perreault and Hendricks.  What does it mean to be able to roll all four lines?  On Byfuglien throwing his body around in the 1st period.
