Notable:
With the assist on the opening goal of the game Mark Scheifele hit the 50 point mark for the seventh straight season.
Goalie Eric Comrie gets a win against his “old team” which is his fourth straight start with a victory for the Jets. He improves to 7-2-1 on the season. Not too shabby.
The quest for 50 continues for Kyle Connor who hit the 35 goal mark in game 58. Right now he is on pace for 49.4 goals.
The game-winning goal scored by Kyle Connor was the 32nd of his career which moves him into a tie with Bryan Little into 4th on the all-time GWG list (combined Jets/Thrashers). He is 3rd on the Jets 2.0 list trailing only Blake Wheeler (34) and Mark Scheifele (33).
