And that is it for the home portion of the regular season as the Jets drop their third in a row and they fall to 45-29-4 on the season.

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.

Blake Wheeler

Mathieu Perreault

Connor Hellebuyck

Coach Maurice:  What is it going to take to turn this team around?  Need for urgency.  What did he think of Byfuglien in his return?  The lack of quickness the last three games.  In game 78 is there any extra concern?  Did he think that 33’s return would provide more of a lift?

Up Next:

The Jets are scheduled to practice on Sunday before they head to Chicago as they kick off the final road trip of the regular season with the first of four on the road against the Hawks on Monday night.  Kick start your day with the AM Jets papers which go live at 7 am on illegalcurve.com.
