The Jets picked up a big two points courtesy of a win last night over the Bruins at Bell MTS Place.  They take on a really good Calgary team tomorrow night although they are fortunate in that the Flames play tonight in Calgary against the Rangers.

Coach Maurice:  Reflections on last night’s game.  The Jets defensive game.  On Nikolaj Ehlers being rewarded with the game winner.  What have the Flames done that has given them trouble?   Update on Byfuglien/Morrissey?  Would he expect Byfuglien/Morrissey to play in regular season?  On the D stepping up to the next level?  On the overall depth within the organization.  Why aren’t they a big shot blocking team?  Johnny Gaudreau disproving the doubters.

Health News:

Asked about Josh Morrissey and Dustin Byfuglien Jets bench boss Paul Maurice had this to say “Josh is in his normal rehab time.  So he’s doing well.  He’s fine.  We’re gonna expect him looking harder at some time in April.  And Buff is getting a little bit better so we’re hoping that we can get him on the ice here in the next bit of time.  We are really patient and cautious with this, we’d like to be done with it when it’s over.”
