Coach Maurice:  Whether the shorthanded goal for the Jets swung the momentum in their favour.  The switch of Roslovic and Perreault.  Patrik Laine’s goal.  What worked so well in the zone on the Copp goal?  Was there anything he had to do to temper any arrogance from infecting their game?  Quiet game for Laurent Brossoit?  On the Jets continuing to backcheck hard when the game is 5-1 for the home side.  On Hellebuyck having to go into the game.  What is the biggest area of growth he has seen in Andrew Copp’s game?  Did he think the challenged goal was going to count?

Wings Audio:

Coach Blashill:  Where did the game turn?  The losses going from one-goal games (last season) to these types of results.  What did he think of Eric Comrie in his first start for the Wings?  How do you build mental toughness to ride out bad “puck luck”?  What can he learn from tonight’s game that will help them on Thursday?  Play of Filip Zadina.  Issue with the Red Wings plane.  What would a win do for this team right now?  The spotlight on him as the coach.

Up next:

The Jets will practice on Wednesday before they head to Detroit to complete the home and home series with the Red Wings on Thursday.  You can kick start your day with the Morning Papers which go live tomorrow at 7 am on illegalcurve.com.
