Game 66: Jets 4 Blue Jackets 3 in OT post-game recap

After a disappointing loss to the Senators on Friday the Jets bounced back with a much needed win on Saturday night against Patrik Laine and the Blue Jackets with their 4-3 OT victory. It improves them to 31-25-10 on the season.

Notable:

Kyle Connor‘s torrid goal scoring pace continues as he scored his 41st of the season in game 66 to maintain his pursuit of 50 goals.

For the sixth straight season Nikolaj Ehlers hit the 20 goal mark.

Some bad news on the injury front as Jansen Harkins left the game in the 1st, looked like he’d try to return in the 2nd but was ruled out of playing.

Another win for Eric Comrie as the Jets backup netminder as he picks up his fifth straight W for Winnipeg and improves to 8-2-0-1 on the season.
