On a night where a win was a must, the Jets best players performed as such and deliver the key victory, improving the team’s record to 33-27-6 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.

Notable:

Patrik Laine was forced to leave the game and would not return after blocking a shot.

Mark Scheifele

Connor Hellebuyck

Nikolaj Ehlers

Coach Maurice: Status of Patrik Laine. Managing the game without Laine. Scoring the first goal of the game. Nathan Beaulieu blocking shots and playing big minutes. How does he feel about the direct vs indirect chances. Play of Mason Appleton. Jack Roslovic dropping onto the power play. Mark Scheifele on the Jets second goal. Play of Anthony Bitetto. Play of the Copp line.

Health Update:

Coach Maurice confirmed that there was nothing showing on any of the tests and nothing was broken for Patrik Laine and he will make the trip to Edmonton.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
