The Jets didn’t exactly have their best game tonight. They started off sluggish and looked almost disinterested in putting in work against the Flyers. But even after falling behind 2-0 in the first, the Jets managed to at least play somewhat even and hang around to end up tying the game late in the third and then won it outright in the shootout.
How concerning was that start for the Jets? Was there a defenseman that you thought played well for the Jets? How long do you think Paul Maurice can get away with keeping Perreault in the “bottom six” before Matty P forces his hand? Connor Hellebuyck: Great goalie, or the greatest goalie? As always, please leave your thoughts on these questions and on the game overall in the comments below!

JN PLAYERS OF THE GAME

For Philadelphia:  Sean Couturier – PP goal, one assist … Showing why Philly is just as happy to have him on the team as opposed to Scheifele.
For Winnipeg: Connor Hellebuyck – 30 saves, .938 save percentage … Kept the Jets in the game pretty much the entire way through.
