Jets defeat Sens 3-2

• In the dying seconds of the third, the Senators made a final push to send the game to OT. They came close, a matter of inches and video review quality decided their fate. With four seconds remaining, it appeared Jean-Gabriel Pageau had squeaked the puck past Connor Hellebuyck, but the replay deemed there was not conclusive evidence that the puck had crossed the line. 

• Jacob Trouba should be expecting a phone call from NHL Player Safety within the next 24 hours. Trouba laid out Senators forward Mark Stone with a blatant elbow to the head. Stone did not return to the game.
• You know who’s hot? Mathieu Perreault. Perreualt currently has four points in his last three games, along with 14 hits in that span. 
• Patrik Laine recorded two assists today and is currently on pace for 70 points. The Jets/Thrashers franchise record for most points in a rookie season is Danny Heatley’s 67 points in 2001-2012. 
• I thought Connor Hellebuyck had a solid outing, but his rebound control is fairly worrisome. That stuff will be adjusted over time, but several grade-A chances were given up due to rebounds. Pavelec’s injury is somewhat of a blessing in disguise for Hellebuyck who gets to step back into the starting goaltender spot and regain his confidence in the process. 
• Ben Chiarot played 24:04 minutes today and it was rather frustrating to watch. Chiarot at times is a pylon in the defensive zone and his defensive awareness is rather baffling at times. 
• But Josh Morrissey on the other hand, he’s been very impressing. Morrissey has arguably been the Jets most consistent defenceman since the start of the year.
