Game 47: Jets 2 Flames 1 in SO post-game report

The Jets are now 27-13-7 after 47 games on the season and back into 1st in the central division.

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

Notable:

– Mathieu Perreault opened the scoring for Winnipeg with his 14th of the season;
– Bryan Little (19) and Nikolaj Ehlers (16) picked up assists on the Perreault goal;
– Flames goalie Mike Smith was spectacular for Calgary;
– Little & Wheeler both scored in the shootout for the Jets;
– Patrik Laine almost scored the goal of the year in OT;
– Connor Hellebuyck was excellent in the win, improving to 24-6-6 on the season.

Mathieu Perreault

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?

Up Next:

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