The Jets suffered a disappointing loss to the Ducks in overtime as they had a couple of two goal leads in the game before having to score late to tie it and at least get to extra time. There was also a cost associated with the game as Vlad Namestnikov left after the 2nd and did not return while Mark Scheifele went knee-on-knee in OT and there was some concern for his status.
Skate news:
As per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press both Scheifele and Namestnikov did not skate today in Anaheim.
