Game 49: Predators 2 Jets 1 post-game recap

Jets drop the final game of the road trip to the Preds by a final score of 2-1. Although it looks like they want to keep fighting after the final buzzer. Winnipeg drops to 31-17-1 on the season.

Notable:

Ahead of puck drop Rick Bowness indicated that there were some game-time decisions. The only lineup change was the team swapped out Dylan Samberg for Logan Stanley, who was activated off IR and played for the first time since December 9th (missed 22 games).

Pierre-Luc Dubois on pace for 35 goals this season. His 21st of the year came just one minute into this game. His career high was 28 in 81 games last season.

Rookie Cole Perfetti showed his superior vision on the opening goal of the game with a fantastic pass across which was his 22nd assist of the season (puts him seven back of Matty Beniers for top spot among rookies).

Unfortunately, for the Jets not much else happened that was notable.
