Yes !!! Not a picture perfect game but a clean 2 pts and 4pts on the double header.They found a way to win and that's big. Back in 1st albeit probably temporarily.

What a dominating 3rd period...they went from losing the expected goal battle to blowing the Wild out (3.4 to 1.70)

The only disappointment was a less than spirited, so-called, top line. Vilardi, particularly, was a total non factor.

Gotta say though I think we need to do something with the top (?) line. Don't know what, or who, but there's just not the same level of intensity and commitment that the other lines have. At least it looks that way to me. The only person on that line who's showing up is 27

Bit of an odd game statistically. The Jets mainly lost in the shot stats (Corsi/Fenwick) with only the Toninato line out-shooting opponents.
But three of four lines won the expected goal battle at 5 on 5, with Toninato's getting 80% xG, the Lowry trio ending with 64.4% xG, and the Scheifele line finishing with 59.5% xG (only the Namestnikov lost with 23.3% xG).

I wonder if Vilardi is nicked up. He looked really slow today.

Wow ! We are 3 pts out of 1st place in the NHL. And 2nd best Goal Differential (+26), only 3 behind the NY Rangers in that category too.

That just made me think that two players we were happy to see head out of town have ended up with pretty good teams, despite neither Wheeler nor Dubois really doing much to help out the Rangers & Kings.

I wonder if Vilardi is nicked up. He looked really slow today. actually wondering about Scheifele too. We are so used to a few seasons of coasting, we might be blinded to something else...he really looked tentative out there today.

That's what depth does for you. 1st line scoring disappears and the other guys win it for you. Cheers. See y'all next year.
