With a long homestand coming up, the Jets' identity should come into clearer focus as the search continues. ✍️: WiebesWorld
WINNIPEG - When the dust had finally settled and the interviews were complete, there was the proper mix of silver linings and disappointment.
“The first two periods are kind of inexcusable,” said Jets centre Adam Lowry, who didn’t mince words. “We didn’t match their legs. With some of the changes and some of the things we’ve implemented, we know there is going to need to be growth in our game. There are going to be adjustments and that’s where we’re really fortunate to have one of the best goalies in the world. Sometimes, you have guys that can score your way out of some problems.
"It's a great thing, being able to salvage a point after playing a game like that. But again, it's not sustainable over 82 games. We know that and we'll clean it up." There will be a heavy dose of games against Central Division opponents and if the first two games against the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators are any indication, the intensity level and entertainment value should be on the rise.
Wheeler shared an important revelation with reporters in San Jose after the game relating to the cracked ribs he played through early last season. With Ehlers moving to a line with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Connor , it’s possible Wheeler and Scheifele could reunite and play with Copp.
