Game 64: Sharks 3 Jets 2 in OT post-game recap

And the Jets lose a game they could ill afford to lose in OT. That one stings. Winnipeg falls to 36-25-3 on the season and because they pick up the point they move back into 3rd in the Central.

For those who would like to take a deeper dive into the advanced stats click here to see the results from the game via Natural Stat Trick.

Notable:

Few guys moving ahead on the Jets all-time games played list: Dylan DeMelo moves into a tie with Brandon Tanev at 25th (he was tied with Zach Bogosian). Mason Appleton moves into 31st (past Joel Armia). And Brenden Dillon moves past Anthony Peluso into 38th.

Nice acknowledgment from the crowd for former Jets forward Evgeny Svechnikov who spent last season here in Winnipeg.

And Disco Inferno rains down from the speakers to celebrate Nino Niederreiter’s first goal as a Jets which was also his 200th NHL goal.

Speaking of 200, Nate Schmidt picked up his 200th NHL point when he scored the go-ahead goal for Winnipeg late in the 3rd.

Hertl tied the game with ten seconds to go….. Probably shouldn’t have iced that puck the previous shift…

Not scoring once on six power plays killed the Jets.
