Put away the panic buttons, as the Jets are back in the win column, thoroughly controlling the game against the Flyers. The power play continues to sizzle and they are the first team in the NHL to get to 90 points as they improve to 43-16-4 on the season.

Notable:
Winger Gabriel Vilardi gets to (and above) the 30 assist mark for the first time in his career. Of course his 58 points in 63 games is already his career high (by a lot).
Kyle Connor has 46 assists in 63 games which is a pace of 59 by the end of this season. His career high is 49 set two seasons back.
Sticking with the top line Mark Scheifele has 71 points in 63 games. This is already one back of his total from last season which he got in 74 games. He’s on pace to finish with 92 which would be the first time he ever got above the 90 point plateau.
The captain Adam Lowry picked up his 12th goal of the season which matched what he did last season but he did so in 26 fewer games.
This is Nikolaj Ehlers 10th season (only nine were full ones) and for the 8th time in his career he gets to the 20 goal mark.
