Game 54: Canadiens 5 Jets 2 post-game recap

The Jets are now 34-17-3 on the season following tonight’s 5-2 loss to the Habs as their points streak of four games came to an end.

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:

– Mark Scheifele scored his team leading 27th goal of the season;
– Dustin Byfuglien played the most minutes of any of the defenceman for the Jets (25:32);
– Connor Hellebuyck faced 49 shots.

Coach Maurice:  On the speed of the Habs.  What are the biggest challenges when you have that many guys not going?  The turnovers.  Is the mindset to switch focus quickly to the Senators?  On adding Byfuglien/losing Morrissey.  Does that game make it hard to assess the play of Byfuglien?
