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?
