The Jets beat the Coyotes 5-3 to improve to 5-2-1 on the season and 4-0-1 at Bell MTS Place.

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.

Notable:

– Laurent Brossoit was very good to open the game (his team was not) making 15 saves on 16 shots;
– Adam Lowry scored his fourth goal which ties him with Kyle Connor for most on the team;
– Tyler Myers first of the season was a bar down beauty;
– Josh Morrissey picked up his sixth assist in eight games and his first goal of the season;
– Mathieu Perreault helped to restore the Jets two goal lead thanks to his first of the season;
– Jacob Trouba had three assists in the game.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
