Game 43: Jets 3 Senators 2 post-game recap

The Jets rebounded from their last game to get a measure of revenge against the Senators as they defeat them in the re-match 3-2 to improve to 26-14-3 on the season.  This was their third win of four games on this five-game road trip.  They are five points back of Toronto in 1st in the division.

Notable:

Nikolaj Ehlers picked up his 300th point (133 goals 167 assists) of his career and the assist summed up the Dynamic Dane perfectly as he made the perfect dish to Mark Scheifele to tie the game. He’s now in sole possession of 8th spot on the franchise assist board (was tied with Andrew Ladd).

Trevor Lewis is becoming quite the shorthanded specialist as two of his three goals this season have come with a man short.

For the first time in his career Andrew Copp hit the 20 assist mark which he did in his 43rd game of the season. His previous high was 19 in 82 games back in 2017-18.
