Game 81: Jets 3 Wild 1 post-game recap (Winnipeg clinch playoff spot)

In the final battle of the regular season between Friendly Manitoba and Minnesota Nice it was the Jets who who came out with the victory 3-1 And the win punches their ticket to the playoffs.

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:

Similar to last game the Jets were able to score on their first shot of the game although this evening it was Adam Lowry who has goals in back-to-back games.

On that goal Josh Morrissey picked up his 60th assist of the season. Just remarkable.

Right place at the right time was Mark Scheifele as he buried his 42nd goal of the season to make it 2-0 after he found himself beside the Wild net and able to bury a Nate Schmidt rebound.

Little added insurance by Mason Appleton as he continues to elevate his game with goals in back-to-back games.

Rick Bowness vs Dean Evason is the fight we didn’t know we needed.
