Game 8: Canucks 4 Jets 1 post-game recap

The Jets are now 2-2 on this seven-game homestand as they fall 4-1 to the Canucks as they fall to 5-3-0 on the season.

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

Game Highlights:

Notable:

There was some Pierre-Luc Dubois talk on Saturday Headlines regarding his quarantine.

Funny timing for Mason Appleton as he was asked today in his media availability after morning skate about not scoring and he scored his first goal of the season.

Adam Lowry points streak hits six games as he draws the primary assist on Appleton’s goal. He’s up to 4G 4A in 8 games for the Jets. He’s now just two back of his points total from all of last season in 41 less games.

A goals and points streaks of five games came to an end for Nikolaj Ehlers and Andrew Copp respectively.
