Game 52: Jets 5 Blackhawks 3 post-game report

Recap:

It was looking like it was going to be another long night after the Jets game up a two goal lead surrendering three straight to this deadly Hawks team.  But it just seems like Winnipeg has no fear when facing Chicago as they pulled off the comeback and beat the second best team in the Western Conference for the fourth time this season.

Stats:

Audio:

Blake Wheeler:  3rd period rally.  Thoughts on Hellebuyck’s game after a two week break.  On beating the Hawks four times this season.

Connor Hellebuyck:  What was most important thing he did during the two weeks off?  Did he like getting 18 shots in the 1st period to get him back into the game?  What did the Jets do to get things going in the 3rd?  On being 4-0 against Chicago.  On facing the central division teams following the All-Star break.

Coach Maurice:  On not folding in final four minutes.  On what he saw from Hellebuyck.  How did he like the way his team handled the adversity?  Thoughts on Copp.  Controlling destiny after All-Star break.
