Game 8: Penguins 2 Jets 1 in OT post-game report

Quick Thought:

While Connor Hellebuyck failed to pick up his first win in five games for the Jets he was clearly the best player on the ice for Winnipeg.  The Jets netminder made 26 saves in the overtime loss.  His record is now 4-0-1 with a 2.25 GAA and .931 save percentage.

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.

Kyle Connor

Matt Hendricks

Coach Maurice:  What did he think of the response after giving up early goal and overall assessment.  Thoughts on Matt Hendricks game.  Thoughts on the Jets penalty killers.  Thoughts on Connor Hellebuyck’s performance.  What does he say to Patrik Laine after the OT game winner against?  Does he take pride/disappointment out of this game?  Thoughts on Jacob Trouba’s game.  On Ehlers holding onto the puck.
