Game 78: Hurricanes 4 Jets 2 post-game recap

A valiant effort from Eric Comrie who was excellent in this contest. His team however falls 4-2 in Carolina to finish final regular season road trip a dismal 0-4.

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:

Kyle Connor tied Patrik Laine for most goals scored by a member of the Jets 2.0 at 44. That was Connor’s 175th NHL goal. He sits 3rd from the 2015 draft class in goals behind McDavid (238) and Aho (181). Worth noting Connor has played 103 fewer games than McDavid and 60 fewer than Aho.

Pierre-Luc Dubois tied his second best assist mark (31) of his career. He has a good shot at matching/breaking the 34 he had in 2018-2019.

Pierre-Luc Dubois also tied his career high in goals (27) that he set in 2018-19.

Netminder Eric Comrie was excellent despite the loss.
