Seth Jarvis gets a home game as the Canes embark on another week of Canes After Dark (but not tonight).
Saturday was a nice bounce back from the awful performance on Thursday. Aho had a pair of goals and a couple of chances to finish the hattie, both special teams scored, with Skjei’s shorty giving the team a new franchise record for most shorties by dmen in a season. It was his first, adding to Slavin’s pair and a Burns shorty. Kochetkov was a surprise starter in goal with Raanta not feeling 100% and he bounced back nicely too, only giving up a laser from Casey Mittelstadt off a bad Orlov turnover and an odd goal by Jost. The team didn’t practice yesterday, so we’ll have to see who gets the start in goal at the morning skate.
The Jets broke a 3 game losing streak on Saturday, beating the Blackhawks. They’re 6-4 in their last 10 and have 28 points in 23 games, 3rd in the Central. Kyle Connor has 14 goals, tied for 6th in the league. Mark Scheifele has 17 assists and 25 points. Connor Hellebuyck has started 18 games in goal. He's having a Connor Hellebuyck season, 2.49/.912, both just outside the top 10. He’s backed up by Laurent Brossoit, who came over from Vegas. He’s at 2.97/.877. The Jets are 14th in goals per game, 9th in goals against. They’re 18th on the PP, 26th on the PK.
Early start time for a game in Winnipeg. Bally Sports South for TV, Mike will be back.
