The Jets entered
Anaheim on a good note, after beating the San Jose Sharks 4-1, and were hoping to build off of the win. Unfortunately, the
Ducks had a bit more jump than the Jets and the Ducks would score on Michael Hutchinson partway through the
first.

After another
mediocre start to the period, Tyler Myers would go for a skate with
the puck into the Ducks’ zone and would end up turning over the puck.
The resulting rush would see Corey Perry score to put the Ducks up
3-0.

have Carl Hagelin deflect the puck past John Gibson.

to look like a slow bunch in the second. The Ducks would continue to

Toby Enstrom took a
tripping penalty with a handful of minutes left in the second, to put
the Jets on the penalty kill again. The kill was looking good until
Blake Wheeler turned the puck over in the offensive zone and the Jets
forgot to play defence.

If the Jets wanted a
chance to win the game, they had to turn on the gas in the third. They tried, but were unable to execute any sort of comeback. The Ducks would continue to dictate play
for most of the third, this time dominating the neutral zone and
making zone entry for the Jets extremely difficult.

The final score was 4-1 for the Ducks, but without some key saves by Hutchinson the game could have been even more out of hand.
THREE KEYS
Poor Hutch: Michael
Hutchinson is slowly being ousted out of the crease by rookie Connor
Hellebuyck. Hutch faced a hungry Ducks team, looking to win and to
continue to dominate over the Jets. Hutchinson was given the task of
backstopping an exhausted Jets team, with coaching staff hoping he
could break out of his slump without any support from his team.

Special Teams: The
Jets need to figure their special teams out. This game was just
another example of the team being able to figure out how to kill a
penalty and score when they have a power play. The Ducks’ fourth goal
was a prime example of the Jets not knowing what to do, leaving a man
open for a break away and not contesting the trailer, who would
score.

Scheduled Loss:
Unfortunately for the Jets, the game against the Ducks saw them play
their third game in four nights on the second game of a back-to-back.
The team looked tired and could not muster a consistent effort
throughout the night.
