Quick thoughts...
81-55-26 Some shaky play in their own zone at times, but overall I thought they were better than they've been recently. Wheeler definitely has more jump now. They had a number of plays that almost connected that would have made them even more dangerous.
9-25-27 Much stronger game from Copp had this line really working well. Staetny with tremendous positional play and smart puck movement. Ehlers was really good in zone exits.
85-17-22 Good game from Lowry, and Appleton was terrific again. His speed and aggressiveness really creates space and allows Lowry to cut off plays. Perreault was okay. Too bad he can't shoot, because he had great chances on the PP.
12-11-23 Harkins and Lewis were strong. Thompson was meh. Noticed him losing a big own zone face-off because that's supposed to be his specialty.
24-4 Wow, that was a boss game from Pionk. He's at another level right now. Forbort was fine. Not sure what Highlander did to tick him off, but he sent a message or two.
44-3 Poolman was a mess. He was so shaky with the puck that he puts the D pair into a lot of bad situations. I liked Morrissey overall, though he made a couple of bad turnovers.
88-2 DeMelo was okay I guess, but doesn't look like the same player as he was last year. Beaulieu is just had.
Brossoit was outstanding.
Good win. Jets will have a formidable forward group when PLD gets up to speed. But they need to replace one or two D. Samberg is ready right now to step into RD next to Morrissey. Heinola would be a welcome puck mover.
