The Jets are home from Dallas following a 3-1 loss to the Stars which put them down 3-1 in their second round series to their Central Division rival. The team stayed off the ice today but we heard from head coach Scott Arniel as his team faces a tall task in trying overcome a big playoff deficit.

4) Biggest benefits of having gone through Game 7 in Round 1 (1:59)
5) Kyle Connor not scoring a PP goal since December (2:41)
