Game 50: Hurricanes 4 Jets 1 post-game recap

The losing streak hits three straight as the Jets drop the game 4-1 to the Hurricanes and fall to 25-21-4 on the season. Poor push back in the 3rd period which saw Winnipeg down 3-1 and still get outshot 16-3.

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

Notable:

– Patrik Laine has scored in back to back games.

Coach Maurice:  Hurricanes limiting them to 17 shots in the game.  How does he explain their slow starts?  How did he like the fight from his team in the 3rd? Did he like what he saw from his power play?  16 goals against in the last three games.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
