Notable:

Nikolaj Ehlers moved ahead of Ilya Kovalchuk on the all-time games played list for Thrashers/Jets into sole possession of 8th with his 595th game this evening. Next up for him on that list is Dustin Byfuglien with 609. He’s 4th on the Jets 2.0 list.

Logan Stanley is now beloved by all of Jets nation for taking on Corey Perry. And he gave the crowd in Winnipeg a little pump up afterward.

What a save by Connor Hellebuyck. Said that a few times this evening.

I’m sure folks in Winnipeg weren’t extra pumped these two stops came against Evander Kane. Another great pair of stops by Connor Hellebuyck.

Brenden Dillon with the old school hit on Corey Perry. Again folks in Winnipeg likely a bit extra emphatic in their celebration for who was on receiving end of it.
