Game 45: Jets 5 Predators 2 post-game recap

Five unanswered goals and the Jets turn a 2-0 deficit into an absolutely humungous 5-2 victory. Jets improve to 20-17-8 with the win in Nashville.

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:

Kyle Connor

157 goals
144 assists
301 points
350 NHL games.

Also 26 goals in 45 games for Kyle Connor. He matches his goal total from last season but does it 11 fewer games than he did in 2020-21. The chase for 50 remains for the Michigan Man.

Two straight games with a goal for Pierre-Luc Dubois not wearing a suit means he may never wear a suit again. He’s up to 20 goals on the season.

Jets had been outshot 9-1 to start the game. Since that point they held a 40-22 edge and took a 4-2 lead. Quite the switch being flipped.

Multi point games:

Blake Wheeler 2G 3A
Mark Scheifele 1G 2A
Kyle Connor 1G 1A
Josh Morrissey 2A
