Game 41: Red Wings 7 Jets 5 post-game recap

The Jets five-game win streak comes to a screeching halt in Detroit as they lose 7-5 to the Wings. Winnipeg falls to 26-14-1 on the season.

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

Notable:

Four goals on nine shots for Detroit on Connor Hellebuyck is not what you’d expect from the Michigan product.

The signing of Sam Gagner continuing to pay off for the Jets. The veteran forward has played 38 games has 8G and 6A and costs 750K vs Paul Stastny who has played 39 games for the Hurricanes, has 2G and 11A with a cost of 1.5 million.

Nate Schmidt up to 4 goals in his 32nd game of the season. He had 4 goals in 77 games for Winnipeg last season. Who knew you just needed to let him pick his goal song. Mambo No. 5.

Multi Point Game:

Mark Scheifele 1G 1A
Nikolaj Ehlers 1G 1A
Neal Pionk 1G 1A
Cole Perfetti 2A
