Two power-play goals for the Bruins hold up on the scoreboard as they win the special teams battle, and the game, by a 2-1 margin as the Jets slide hits five games. Their record dips to 25-23-4 on the season.

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:

– Mark Scheifele played in his 500th NHL game;
– Patrik Laine scored his 18th goal of the season.

Coach Maurice: His team’s effort in that game. What they can take from that game. On Bitetto and Copp getting entangled. The high level of animosity. Thoughts on the power play? Update on Perreault?

Health Update:

No update on Mathieu Perreault who left the game in the 2nd period. “Nothing yet. But I’ll give you something tomorrow. I’ll have a better idea tomorrow.”

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.
