Game 57: Jets 4 Rangers 3 post-game recap

The Jets improve to 36-18-3 after today’s 4-3 win over the Rangers and they have put together a modest two game winning streak as a result.

– It is the second time in Scheifele’s career he has hit the 30 goal mark;
– Rangers dominated the middle frame scoring twice to tie things up;
– New York scored early in the 3rd (all three goals they scored deflected in off the Jets D);
– Joe Morrow’s first goal of the season tied the game at 3;
– Andrew Copp finished off a nice Mason Appleton rush just under two minutes later to give Jets a 4-3 lead.
