Coach Maurice: How important were the last two day of practice for Paul Stastny and Joe Morrow? Status of Enstrom? What are his plans for Mason/Hutchinson? On wanting to get Hellebuyck rest and how much is setting it aside for what is to come? Do they have to balance out rest with playoffs? On whether he uses +/- and looking at it with respect to the Wheeler line. Does he see a changing of the guard with the Hawks/Blues out? Where does he envision Jack Roslovic carving out his spot in the NHL? On the climb of Connor/Roslovic which has allowed them to get acclimatized quickly. On the importance of the young players in the playoffs. On the Jets special teams. On the difference in the standings between this March 1st and last and what is that attributable to?
