Notable:

Nikolaj Ehlers moves ahead of Jim Slater (of GST fame) on the all-time Jets 2.0/Thrashers games played list into sole possession of 9th place with game number 585.

Watching this game I couldn’t help but wonder: Does anyone dance along the blueline like Josh Morrissey?

Dylan Samberg had an excellent game for Winnipeg. Thinking specifically of his first period kill of a 3 on 1 but there were a number of great plays by him.

Turns out that Morrissey is just as good behind the net, where he was breaking ankles, as he is along the blueline.

What a play by Josh Morrissey in the 3rd period to keep the puck in the Kraken zone and then Vlad Namestnikov feeds Mark Scheifele who makes a fantastic play of his own to open the scoring for the Jets in Seattle.

Jets captain Adam Lowry hits double digits in goals for the fourth straight season and the 30 points mark (10G 20A) for the second straight year as his 10th goal of the season made it a 2-0 game.

Nikolaj Ehlers into the empty net and the Jets went on to win it 3-0.
