'Hawks Have Jets' Number Winnipeg Comes up Short Against Chicago for Second Time in Two Outings Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/hawks-have-jets-number- 469090963.html 'Hawks have Jets' number Winnipeg comes up short against Chicago for second time in two outings By: Jason Bell CHICAGO — The Winnipeg Jets left Chicago feeling a little empty on Friday night. A solid road effort was there, they generated some scoring chances and limited the NHL’s most active marksmen to a reasonable amount of shots on goal. But the Blackhawks earned two key points against their Central Division rivals, riding the superior goaltending of journeyman Jeff Glass and his 31-save effort to a 2-1 triumph over the Jets at United Center. Glass slid across to make a ridiculous pad save off Patrik Laine with a minute left in regulation time to preserve the victory. If that wasn’t enough, captain Blake Wheeler hit a post with less than 20 ticks to go and the Jets’ net empty. "It was a s—- loss. We battled well in the third, we never gave up. We had some huge scoring chances, including myself, but just couldn’t capitalize," said Laine, who took over the team goal- scoring lead with his 20th at 16:19 to pull the visitors to within one. "Their speed, they have so much skill up front and they have so much veteran guys in their lineup, so it’s hard to play against. But we have to find some ways to beat them because we’re gonna get these kinds of games against Chicago again this season." The Blackhawks (22-16-6) have the Jets’ number so far this season. On Dec. 14, they stormed out to a three-goal lead in the first period and dumped the Jets 5-1 in Winnipeg. Rookie centre David Kampf and defenceman Jan Rutta scored second-period goals on goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who finished with 25 stops. Laine’s laser beam to the top corner with just 3:41 left in the third period shattered Glass’s bid for his first NHL shutout. Only minutes earlier, the young Finn hit the post from the same spot at the top of the circle. Winnipeg (26-12-7) had its three-game win streak snapped and suffered its first regulation loss in seven games. The Jets lead the division by three points over Nashville (25-11-16). The Jets had difficulty through 40 minutes penetrating the Chicago zone with their usual speed and puck movement. Wheeler said the club seemed unwilling to alter its strategy and chip the puck deep, to its detriment. "Being stubborn and not wanting to get the puck behind them," he said. "If you want to come up the ice and carve through them, you’re going to have a tough time." Hellebuyck, who came into the game without a regulation loss in his last nine starts, had no chance on Kampf’s deflection of a low point shot from Connor Murphy at 4:51. But he botched the shot from Rutta, who burst down the right side and released a shot from a bad angle at 16:25. Winnipeg needs to regroup in a hurry or the squad will begin its league-mandated bye week Sunday on a bitter note. The Jets, who kicked off a three-game road trip with a 7-4 triumph in Buffalo Tuesday, take on the Minnesota Wild tonight at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Hawks, who lead the league in average shots per game (34.7), buzzed around Hellebuyck but managed just seven shots in the opening period. The Jets puckstopper, selected Wednesday to play in the NHL All-Star Game later this month, got a nice feel for the biscuit early, stopping rookie forward Alex DeBrincat’s hard wrist shot through a maze of legs just two minutes in. Try as they might, Winnipeg couldn’t break Glass. The 32-year-old former world junior star for Canada, finally getting a taste of the NHL after more than 12 years split between the American Hockey League and the KHL, earned his third victory since being called up in late December after an injury to longtime No. 1 Corey Crawford. Glass was sensational at times, making brilliant breakaway stops on Mathieu Perreault and Kyle Connor in the middle period with the hosts up 1-0. The save of the game went to Chicago defenceman Gustav Forsling late in the first period, as the Jets nearly got their most fortuitous goal of the season. With a delayed penalty coming to Dustin Byfuglien, an errant pass by blue-liner Jan Rutta slid dangerously toward his own net but was swiped away with inches to spare by Forsling. Right after Kyle Connor was stoned on a breakaway, Rutta increased the ’Hawks’ lead to 2-0. Jets head coach Paul Maurice wasn’t displeased with his club’s effort. "It was just even. I don’t think they were getting to our net for second or third opportunities. We were in alone a couple of times, had a three-on-one but didn’t convert. It wasn’t an offensive game. It wasn’t for both teams," said Maurice. "There were big chunks of our game I liked today, I like the way we’ve played the last month. We’re not winning every game, so we’ll move on to the next one." NOTES: Michael Hutchinson wore a Jets jersey once again. The 27-year-old backed up Hellebuyck after veteran Steve Mason told the team he was "not feeling well" after the morning skate. Mason missed seven games in late November and early December with a concussion. "We don’t want to take any chances with him, given his past history. We think he’s fine and we’ll know more (Saturday)," said Maurice. "He finished practice and then got back from the rink he wasn’t feeling good, so we brought another guy in." Hutchinson practised earlier in the day in Winnipeg with the AHL’s Manitoba Moose but caught a flight to Chicago in time for the pre-game skate. Injured centre Adam Lowry (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve list retroactive to Jan. 5. He’ll be sidelined until after Winnipeg’s league-mandated five-day break. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/hutchinson-gets-called-up-to-jets-to- backup-hellebuyck-469059053.html Hutchinson gets called up to Jets to backup Hellebuyck By: Jason Bell CHICAGO – Michael Hutchinson will wear a Winnipeg Jets jersey once again. The 27-year-old goalie was called up on an emergency basis and is backing up Connor Hellebuyck here Friday night against the Blackhawks. Veteran goalie Steve Mason was "not feeling well," a club spokesman said, prompting the recall. In another move, injured centre Adam Lowry (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve list retroactive to Jan. 5. He'll be sidelined until after Winnipeg's league-mandated five-day break, which begins immediately following the conclusion of Saturday's game in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wild. The Jets (26-11-7) haven't lost in regulation in their last seven contests (6-0-1) and hold down top spot in the NHL's Central Division. Hutchinson has been superb with the Manitoba Moose this season, posting a 14-2-4 record with the Moose to lead the AHL with a .942 save percentage. His 1.94 goals-against average ranks third in the league. He was named AHL goaltender of the month for both November and December as he helped the Moose to a 16-game point streak (15-0-1) from Nov. 15 to Dec. 22. Hutchinson has played 99 games for Winnipeg during the last four seasons and he has a 41-38- 11 record with three shutouts, a 2.63 GAA, and a .910 SV%. The Moose recalled Jamie Phillips from the Jacksonville Icemen of the ECHL to replace Hutchinson. Manitoba faces the Iowa Wild on Saturday and Sunday in a pair of afternoon games at Bell MTS Place. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/breaking-a-sweat-for-the-jet-set- 469037953.html Breaking a sweat for the Jet set True North D (for details) man Chris Kreviazuk has just one goal — distraction- free road trips for players and their coaches — but he leads the team in assists By: Jason Bell CHICAGO — There are a lot of moving parts involved, but the strategy to transfer the entirety of the Winnipeg Jets hockey club from the Windy City to the Twin Cities is pretty simple. It’s a relatively straightforward back-to-back leg of an otherwise manageable road trip that has the NHL team playing in three different cities in five days. So, if the plan was executed according the way it was devised months ago by Chris Kreviazuk and the Winnipeg coaching staff, the properly fed, watered and rested Jets should be in the best possible condition to earn a victory Saturday over Central Division-rival Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The rest is up to the players. Kreviazuk, the Jets’ team services manager, is one of the most visible members of the Winnipeg entourage on each and every road trip. The longtime member of True North Sports & Entertainment (he drove the Zamboni at the Iceplex the year before the NHL returned to the city in 2011 and spent a few years with the organization's communications department), he's easy to spot at rinks on the road. Tall, well- dressed fellow, phone to his ear. Kreviazuk is the details guy, responsible for the day-to-day itinerary of the team, and he’s dead- set on ensuring things fall into place when the Jets are winging from one city to another in their quest for victories and, ultimately, a landing spot in the NHL post-season.

  • 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.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips March 9, 2021 Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin experiencing growing pains in new role on defense By Lance Lysowski The Buffalo News March 9, 2021 PHILADELPHIA – Rasmus Dahlin did not hang his head. He didn’t even glance at a group of New York Islanders swarming forward Matt Martin to celebrate their fifth goal Thursday night. Dahlin, now a 20-year-old defenseman and 164 games into a National Hockey League career that began with his selection first overall at the 2018 draft, skated toward the Buffalo Sabres’ bench and used his right hand to lift his stick in the air to signal for a line change. Martin, a fourth-line grinder known more for his right hook than scoring touch, had just skated by Dahlin and across the front of the Sabres’ net before jamming the puck past goalie Jonas Johansson to seal the Islanders' 5- 2 win. In years past, Dahlin’s frustration might have boiled over. One of the NHL’s bright young defensemen, Dahlin has grown accustomed to the sometimes overwhelming emotion that comes with failure. He’s experienced more than his fair share during his third season in the NHL. Entering Monday, Dahlin owned a league-worst minus-21 rating – on pace for minus-75 if this were an 82-game season – and advanced metrics illustrate how he’s struggling at times to adjust to a bigger role defensively. “It comes (down to forgetting) things, it comes (down) to working harder,” Dahlin said matter of factly. “You are allowed to get (upset) at yourself.
