Coach Maurice: Thoughts on how his team played. On the Jets not losing focus. On the goal that was called back. On the challenge. On the Jets developing a playoff mindset. Did he like the way they managed the 3 on 3 OT? How close is the PK to where he would like it to be? Is he thinking about starting Hellebuyck again tomorrow?

The Jets play the Canucks on Sunday in Winnipeg at 7 pm.
