Game 49: Flyers 3 Jets 1 post-game recap

The Jets fall to 31-16-2 after a 3-1 defeat in Philadelphia in their first game to follow the Player & All-Star breaks.  It was a pretty ho-hum game for the most part.

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:

– Jack Roslovic scored his first goal in 23 games;
– Roslovic’s PP goal broke an 0-25 special team goalless streak on the road;
– It was the first time that Laurent Brossoit lost a game he started (his other loss came in relief of Hellebuyck).

Laurent Brossoit

Coach Maurice:  What did he see that prevented the Jets from getting quality chances on Hart?  Was it simply an off night?  On the poor passing by the Jets.  Are there any nagging health issues with the teams?  Is there any surprise in tonight’s result?  Will the power play goal be able to carry over to Boston tomorrow?  Jets power play overall.

Up Next:

The Jets are off to Boston to take on the Bruins on Tuesday night in their seventh back-to-back of the season.  Start your day with the AM Jets papers which go live at 7 am on illegalcurve.com.
