And Miller pots one for good measure.

Apparently Rangers fans losing their minds on Twitter after the loss. Figured playing their goon would have made a difference.

This was the most inspiring big win since the win in Vancouver. Jets went toe to toe with a powerhouse and played solid. Could have pushed more in the third, but controlled the game until the final 3 minutes.

LUCKY!!!!!!

That flu game off has him jumping since he came back.

Scheifele!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another power play upcoming. Exciting game so far for both teams. Connor on the PP and Jets regain the lead!

Scheifele cracks it open! Nice garbage goal

Laurent Brossoit needs to appear in 7 of the final 15 games to qualify for the Jennings trophy this year. If you were a coach, would you let him sneak into a game for a minute or so when Hellebuyck is playing just to get to that number? He is targeted to probably start no more than five games the rest of the year.

Have to wonder if this is Bowness’ last year behind the bench? 69 years old, had already retired after Dallas before we called him back, and with his wife’s health issue and now this, plus a ready made replacement with Arniel in play, he may decide that slowing down is the way to go now.

Plenty of room on the existing screens if they would use them properly, instead of half with incorrect stats and ads.

Just a brutal pass leads to a Tyler Two-folli. It must be awful being a Blue Jackets fan. Nice to spread out the minutes with all 4 lines tonight. Not perfect, but more than good enough to move back into top spot in the Central.

No Floyd tonight, then Barron gets one wiped out. Jets should focus on limiting shots and working the cycle this period.

Vlad with the backboard carom snipe makes it 5. Paging Andrea!

Stanley with a cannon from the point and Jets blowing it open now. To be fair, only his 16th game this year, so a better pace than DeMelo, Schmidt, and Samberg.

Oh boy, if the Toffoli-Monahan -Ehlers line can get going and Valardi can get healthy, look out.

Another Jet left unguarded in the slot and Fly doubles the Winnipeg lead. Hellebuyck positionally very solid so far, a sign he is on his game, making tough saves look easy with his size as he swallows up shots.

Connor with the early ice breaker. Jets a truly different team when playing with the lead. 28-3-1 when scoring first. 14-16-4 when scored on first.

I was there.

Brossoit with back-to-back goose eggs! Maybe he should start the next one on Columbus too.

Warming up the Floyd.

I will be at the Bomber fireside chat with Streveler and Bryant tonight, so taping the game and will view on tape delay, so no live scoring commentary from me tonight.

Ok, I’ll show myself out for that title. Game time: 7:00 pm, TSN3 The story: The up-and-down Jets try to climb back atop the Central standings against the muscular waterfowl of Disneyland as they were known in a past iteration. Scheifele possibly back after his turn upchucking the flu bug as it washes over the whole team, but Vilardi on the shelf for a while now with a bum spleen. Brossy gets the start apparently. Anyone who has better luck than I trying to post the projected starting line-up, please do so. A win tonight and a 3 way tie for Central #1 spot, with the Jets holding the tie-breaker.

JMO, but with Vilardi out for a while, I would keep Perfetti in but move him to the second line to spark him hopefully. Run Ehlers-Scheifele-Connor as 1, Perfetti-Monahan-Toffoli 2, the usual 3rd line of Nino-Lowry-Appleton, and put Iafallo on with Barron and Namestnikov with Kupari or Gus as the back-up there. We will need more scoring, and Perfetti is better in that role than 4th line grinder/energy guy. Iafallo is more versatile (as is Namestnikov) and could provide a positive edge on the bottom 4. Just my random thoughts, and I am loathe to question a coach of Bones’ tenure and success. Nice to have these depth options though.
