Game 35: Blackhawks 4 Jets 1 post-game recap

Pre-game news:

The news of the day was that the Jets have claimed Eric Comrie off waivers from the Red Wings.

Quick Thought:

After going 7-1-1 at home since the start of November at Bell MTS Place the Jets lose back to back games at home as the Chicago Blackhawks take this one 4-1 and Winnipeg closes out this three-game homestand with one win and two losses.

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

Notable:

– Defenceman Tucker Poolman scored his first goal since October 8th.

Audio:

Blake Wheeler

Adam Lowry

Nikolaj Ehlers

Coach Maurice:  Assessing the game.  Too many men penalty.  Penalty kill.  Is there an issue with not being ready to start the period (1st and 3rd)?  Sag after the third Hawks goal.  Preventing this from snowballing into a losing streak.  Thoughts on Appleton in first game back?

Up next:

The Jets are scheduled to practice on Friday at 12 noon at the IcePlex before they leave for Minnesota to take on the Wild tomorrow afternoon in St. Paul.  You can kick start your day with the Morning Papers which go live tomorrow at 7 am on illegalcurve.com.
