Audio:
Bryan Little: On Laine being in the Calder race and whether it is discussed in the room. Do guys try to get him the puck more? As a veteran does he appreciate the downplayed approach Laine has to the Calder race? On his play in faceoffs. Challenge presented by the Ducks.
Adam Lowry: On the challenge for getting up for games that don’t have meaning. On how long ago it feels like they were playing the Ducks in the playoffs? On the experience of the playoffs. On the other teams that have quick turnarounds and whether the Jets could accomplish this feat. Is there a value to finishing the season above .500? On trying to make end of season tweaks that could help next season.
Coach Maurice: Status of Ben Chiarot? Update on Enstrom. Thoughts on Hutchinson playing tonight. Is there any reason to rest Hellebuyck? What message does he have for the fans for next season? How has he assessed Petan’s season and what does he need to do for next five games? On the Jets not taking penalties in last month and why the change. What has Ehlers done to take the leap he has this year? Did he anticipate the Jets struggles at this point two years ago following that playoff run? Balancing the long term vision required with desire to make impact.
