Jets Launching Into Awards Territory Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-launching-into-awards-territory- 471389844.html Jets launching into awards territory By: Mike McIntyre The Winnipeg Jets’ surge to the top of the NHL’s Central Division standings hasn’t gone unnoticed by hockey media and fans across North America. The Professional Hockey Writers Association revealed Friday the winners of 10 mid-season awards, based on a vote of more than 150 journalists in NHL markets across the league and 2,000 fans who cast their ballots online. Among the local highlights are goalie Connor Hellebuyck finishing second in Vezina Trophy voting, and coach Paul Maurice sitting third in Jack Adams Award voting. Three other members of the Jets garnered some votes: Blake Wheeler was fifth in Hart Trophy voting, Kevin Cheveldayoff was sixth for GM of the year and rookie Kyle Connor 10th in Calder Trophy voting. PHWA members will vote on end-of-season NHL awards in April. Here’s the top-3 mid-season results for each category: Hart Trophy — to the player adjudged to be most valuable to his team 1. Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado Avalanche 3. John Tavares, New York Islanders Norris Trophy — to the defenceman who demonstrates the greatest all-round ability in the position 1. Victor Hedman, Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings 3. John Klingberg, Dallas Stars Selke Trophy — to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game 1. Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins 2. Sean Couturier, Philadelphia Flyers 3. Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings Calder Trophy — to the player selected as the most proficient in his rst year of competition 1. Mathew Barzal, New York Islanders 2. Brock Boeser, Vancouver Canucks 3. Charlie McAvoy, Boston Bruins Lady Byng Trophy — to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability 1. Johnny Gaudreau, Calgary Flames 2. Auston Matthews, Toronto Maple Leafs 3. Ryan O’Reilly, Buffalo Sabres Vezina Trophy — to the goaltender adjudged to be the best at his position 1. Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets 3. Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators Jack Adams Award — to the coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success 1. Gerard Gallant, Vegas Golden Knights 2. Jon Cooper, Tampa Bay Lightning 3. Paul Maurice, Winnipeg Jets GM of the year award — to the general manager adjudged to have contributed most to his team’s success 1. George McPhee, Vegas Golden Knights 2. Steve Yzerman, Tampa Bay Lightning 3. Ray Shero, New Jersey Devils Rod Langway Award — to the defenceman who best excels in the defensive aspect of the game 1. Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings 2. Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins 3. Victor Hedman, Tampa Bay Lightning Comeback player of the year award — to the player who returned to a previous high level of performance that was interrupted by subpar play, long-term injury or major illness. 1. Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Brian Boyle, New Jersey Devils 3. Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers Wheeler says it will be chaos. Hellebuyck was more concerned about making his flight in time. Maurice doesn’t want either player to pull a muscle. The all-star break has arrived, and Wheeler and Hellebuyck are representing the Jets this weekend in Tampa Bay, Fla. "Chaos. It’s going to be hectic. But this whole weekend isn’t about rest and recovery. It’s going to be a fun experience, the family is going to be down there, so I’m excited about it," Wheeler said following the Jets’ 4-3 shootout loss in Anaheim on Thursday night. Wheeler and his teammates took a charter flight back to Winnipeg, arriving just after 4 a.m. Friday. There wasn’t much time for Wheeler or Hellebuyck to catch their breath before flying to Florida. "Hopefully, I can catch my plane, maybe do a little bit of relaxing," Hellebuyck joked in a post- game chat in California. "I’m just going to enjoy the whole weekend, soak everything in, try to make some memories." Maurice said he’s happy for his two players, even though he’d prefer they were putting their feet up and getting some rest. "Make sure you warm up before the game, don’t pull anything, and enjoy the heck out of it," was Maurice’s advice to the pair. The Jets did some roster shuffling Friday connected to the upcoming NHL and AHL all-star games. Goalie Michael Hutchinson was returned to the Manitoba Moose. That allows him to go to Utica, N.Y., to play in Monday’s AHL all-star game. He’s expected to head right back to the Jets in time for Tuesday’s game at Bell MTS Place against the Tampa Bay Lightning. In exchange, the Jets recalled goalie Jamie Phillips from the Moose. The move is purely to ensure the team has a goalie when they return to practice Monday — especially since Hellebuyck will be making his way back from Florida after playing in Sunday’s NHL all-star game. Phillips, 24, is 1-1 with a 2.24 goals-against average and .932 save percentage with the Moose this season. This also allows top goalie prospect Eric Comrie to continue playing with the Moose, as he did Friday night and is expected to do tonight in Laval. Manitoba also recalled goalie Colton Phinney from their ECHL affiliate in Jacksonville to serve as Comrie’s backup this weekend. Phinney, 24, is in his first pro season of hockey after four seasons at Princeton University. He owns a 3-7-1 record with a 3.49 GAA and a .878 SV% in 15 appearances with Jacksonville. In an additional move, the Jets returned winger Brendan Lemieux to the Moose. He has dressed in seven games with the Jets so far this season, and had been up with the team as an extra forward on this road trip. It’s possible he could be recalled next week, depending on whether injured forward Adam Lowry is ready to return to the lineup. Winnipeg Sun http://winnipegsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets/whod-have-thunk-it Who'd have thunk it? By Paul Friesen Those were definitely flashes of playoff-style hockey as the Winnipeg Jets battled through San Jose and Anaheim to get to the NHL all-star break. And while they got through it with aplomb, collecting three of four points, you couldn’t help but wonder how they’d handle a longer dose of the stuff over a six or seven-game series. Would the pounding take its toll? Would the roster, bolstered by AHL callups and maybe, just maybe, a trade deadline acquisition or two, prove deep enough to get through one playoff round? Two rounds? Three rounds? We’ve learned a lot about the Jets so far this season, but not as much as we’re going to learn the rest of the way. Captain Blake Wheeler obviously liked what he saw in Anaheim, Thursday, a game in which the Jets may have taken more than they gave, but played the rugged Ducks dead-even. “We didn’t shy away,” is how Wheeler put it. “We were in every corner with them.” They’ve been rubbing shoulders with the big boys all season. And the rest of the NHL is starting to notice. Individually, the Jets are getting unprecedented attention for the league’s major individual awards. The Professional Hockey Writers Association, which votes on most of them, chose mid-season winners for the first time in decades, Friday, and Connor Hellebuyck finished second in the voting for the Vezina Trophy as top goaltender. If you saw that coming going into the season, go out and pick the winning numbers in the Lotto Max, right now. Hellebuyck ranks second in wins, with 26, behind only Tampa’s Andrei Vasilevskiy (29), who leads the Vezina race at this point, too. Wheeler probably won’t win the Hart Trophy as league MVP, but he placed fifth on the mid- season ballot, getting votes from 60 of 152 writers, including three first-place votes. And Paul Maurice ranks third in the voting for the Jack Adams Trophy as coach of the year, behind everyone’s choice, Gerard Gallant of Vegas, and Jon Cooper of the Lightning. The Jets may not take home a single trophy, but simply being in the running for so many is a step up the NHL food chain. A year ago, the only one in the conversation for anything would have been Patrik Laine for the Calder as top rookie. But individual recognition isn’t all this upstart team from the prairies is getting. There are head coaches out there actually predicting the Jets will win three playoff rounds and represent the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup Final. No less than six coaches picked the Jets to win the West in a poll conducted by TSN’s Bob McKenzie, the results of which he released this week. Only Nashville (16) and Vegas (seven) were picked by more. At 29-13-8, Winnipeg’s 66 points is good for the No. 2 spot in the conference, behind only the expansion Golden Knights. Going into the season, anyone predicting the Jets would trail Vegas by two points at the all-star break might have raised an eyebrow or two. Predicting they’d be the top two teams in the West would have brought in the men in the white coats.

  • Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force.

  • Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season.

  • Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – June 2, 2021
    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – JUNE 2, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * Andrei Vasilevskiy backstopped the Lightning to their second 2-0 series lead of the 2021 postseason. * The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche look to join rare company with a six-game streak to begin a playoff year. * The Jets and Canadiens will commence their Second Round series with 500 fully-vaccinated healthcare workers in attendance. LIGHTNING TAKE 2-0 SERIES LEAD BACK TO AMALIE ARENA Victor Hedman assisted on the game-winning goal and Andrei Vasilevskiy recorded 31 saves on the night he was named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy as the Lightning took a 2-0 series lead for the second time in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The last defending Stanley Cup champion to lead 2-0 in each of their first two series went on to repeat (PIT: 2017) * Vasilevskiy (2.23 GAA, .939 SV%, 1 SO in 2021), a finalist for the Vezina Trophy for the fourth straight year, became the third Lightning goaltender to allow one or fewer goals in three straight playoff contests. The others: Ben Bishop (3 GP in 2016) and Nikolai Khabibulin (3 GP in 2003). * The Lightning improved to 32-1-0 when leading after two periods in 2020-21, regular season and playoffs combined (26-0-0: regular season & 6-1: playoffs). Colorado (35-1-0) is the only team with more wins than Tampa Bay in that scenario (31-1-0: regular season & 4-0: playoffs). * Tuesday’s contest also marked Tampa Bay’s 34th playoff win by a one-goal margin since the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs – tied with Washington for the most among all teams over that span.

  • Flying Wasn't Fun, and for a Number of Years It Fit Right in with Everything
    F IFTY IS A BIG NUMBER Flying wasn’t fun, and for a number of years it fit right in with everything else around the team. We just weren’t enjoying the game. For all three of those years that I hit the 50 mark, it was almost like if our line didn’t score we had no chance of winning the game. Billy and Danny Daoust and Tom Fergus, the three centres I played with over those years—I had great chemistry with all of them. But a lot of nights it felt like we were on our own. And I hated losing more than I liked winning. That’s the way I was as a kid; I didn’t like losing at anything. To put those seasons in historical perspective, a number of Leafs had gotten close to 50 in years past: Frank Mahovlich had his 48 goals, and then Lanny McDonald had seasons with 46, 47 and 43; Darryl had 45 one year. And then Gary Leeman scored 51 during the 1989–90 season. Dave Andreychuk became the third Leaf to do it, in 1992–93, although there’s an asterisk of sorts next to that one because he scored 29 of the goals with Buffalo, and then 25 with the Leafs over 83 games. The next season, he scored 53, all of them with the Leafs. So, just the three of us. So far. John Tavares, the current Leafs captain, had 47 in Toronto in 2018–19, and Auston Matthews had 47 and counting in 70 games, on pace for 55, when the 2019–20 season was paused by the 97 Vaiv_9780735280298_all_5p_r1.indd 97 2020-09-09 2:00 PM CATCH 22 COVID-19 virus.
