Positives:
Just a great night offensively for the Jets. The Jets scored 7 goals tonight while out of town the Isles only managed 11 shots on goal
. The win helps as it puts a little room between the Jets and the 10th place team the Vancouver Canucks. The 9th place Hawks remain just 2 points behind.
Negatives:
Giving up 4 goals doesn’t feel great but the win is the most important outcome. We also gave up 2 power play goals and a short handed goal. However the win puts us 1 point up on the Blues.
Player of the Game:
Veteran Center man Chris Gratton is POW tonight. Chris had a goal and 3 assists to lead the Jets attack.
Turning Point:
The turning point wasn’t one particular play but the entire first period. The Jets scored 3 times and out shot the Blues 16-5 in the period.
Up Next:
Tomorrow vs. the Wild!
