The Jets continue to roll winning seventh straight defeating Kraken 4-3 to clinch home-ice advantage over Avs in round 1.

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:

Don’t think I’ve noticed before how Dylan DeMelo and Nino Niederreiter turn to face and look up at the U.S. and Canadian flags during the respective national anthems.

In the battle of Brenden vs Brandon the winner was clear.

Nice pass by Mark Scheifele who finds Kyle Connor who was left alone in front of the net to make it a 1-0 game for the home team.

Tomas Tatar said tata to the Jets lead, the home team regained their one goal advantage when the same trio who opened the scoring did it again just over one minute after the game was tied. Only difference was this time Josh Morrissey got the primary assist while Mark Scheifele got the secondary one with Kyle Connor scoring his second of the game.

Morgan Barron left the game in the 1st period and the team announced he would not return.

Former Seahawks great Marshawn Lynch, who has an ownership interest in the Seattle Kraken, sitting (and chatting) with the fans watching the game here in Winnipeg.

Nikolaj Ehlers gets to the 60 point mark for the first time since 2017-18 when he had 60 in 82. He’s up to 61 in 81 games. His career high is 64 in 82 games back in 2016-17.

Multipoint Game:

Kyle Connor 2G
Nikolaj Ehlers 1G 1A
Tyler Toffoli 1G 1A
