Chiarot Ready to Play His Role Added Depth on Blue Line Limiting Opportunities for Defender Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/chiarot-ready-to-play-his-role- 452647823.html Chiarot ready to play his role Added depth on blue line limiting opportunities for defender By: Mike McIntyre He’s become a bit of a forgotten man around these parts, pushed aside in favour of a high- profile free agent signing and highly touted prospect turned pro. As the Winnipeg Jets began their season, Ben Chiarot found himself parked in the press box instead of patrolling the blue line. He wasn’t even the first choice when injury opened up a spot, as rookie Tucker Poolman drew into the lineup for two games in place of Dustin Byfuglien. Poolman then got a third game last week — playing on his off-side no less — when off-season addition Dmitry Kulikov went down. Chiarot, 26, finally got his shot Friday in his team’s seventh game of the season, taking Poolman’s spot on a pairing with Tyler Myers in a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. He played a clean and tidy 16 minutes and looked solid, dishing out three hits. "When you’re coming in like that, after sitting out a while, you just want to get in the game pretty early on. Once you get your feet under you it’s like riding a bike," Chiarot said following Monday’s practice. However, Chiarot might not want to get too comfortable. With Kulikov expected back in the lineup as early as Thursday when the Jets travel to Pittsburgh to play the Stanley Cup- champion Penguins, he’s likely going to go back to being the healthy scratch with no idea of when his next opportunity may come. "You just worry about yourself and doing your job. You get paid to come here and play hockey. You’re not paid to decide where you go out," Chiarot said. "I just do my job and do whatever I can to help the team win. Whatever I’m asked to do, I do. I don’t really whine or complain." Chiarot has played a variety of roles in his three full seasons with the Jets, including being pressed into top-four duty many times. He dressed in 59 games last season, scoring two goals and adding 10 assists while going plus-two. He likely won’t come close to as much action this season, barring some major injuries in the defence corps. "This is probably the most depth we’ve had. We’ve got a really good top six, and this year we’ve got eight guys that can play a lot of minutes," Chiarot said. "So depth is good, it’s good competition for ice time and pushed everyone to be a little bit better, so that’s a good thing." Chiarot praised the play of Myers, who missed most of last season with an injury. "He’s obviously a really good player in our league. You can see the effect not having him had on our defence last year. He moves so well and defends so well with how long he is and his arms and his reach," Chiarot said. "Having him back, and especially being my partner, it makes things a bit easier for me." Chiarot believes his team is finally ready to take the step they’ve been talking about for a few years when it comes to better defensive play. He pointed to the game against Minnesota, when the Jets entered the third period tied 3-3 and only surrendered four shots on their way to victory. "I think as our younger guys get older, you get a better understanding the game is more than just run-and-gun and trying to score the whole time. When you’re up a goal or two, you don’t need to. It’s better to put a puck deep," he said. "You see those good teams do that. You shut it down and play a tight defensive game. And I think we’re learning to do that." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hendricks-lowry-kulikov-could-be-back-in-jets-lineup- against-pens-thursday-452593363.html Hendricks, Lowry, Kulikov could be back in Jets lineup against Pens Thursday By: Mike McIntyre Some roster decisions are looming for the Winnipeg Jets. Matt Hendricks, working his way back from a pre-season injury suffered while blocking a shot, looks to be ready to return in time for Thursday’s game in Pittsburgh. "To be out there battling with these guys is the most exciting thing," he said following Monday’s practice. "I’m close. I’m feeling good. I’m feeling comfortable and confident on my foot now. In the back of my head there’s not an issue. So if I had to get in front of a shot again I’d do it." Coach Paul Maurice said he won’t hesitate to insert the veteran centre into the lineup immediately. "What he has, we don’t have a lot of. Now he’s going to have to fight like every other player to stay in the lineup every single night. But if he’s healthy I’m going to find a way to get him in," Maurice said. And that spells trouble for at least one player currently on the roster. Once Hendricks is activated off the injured reserve list, the Jets will have to send someone down to the Manitoba Moose to stay at the 23-player maximum. Adam Lowry is also nearing a return from the IR, meaning two moves may be necessary. The centre has missed the past three games but skated Monday on his own. Maurice said he may join Tuesday's full practice. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov is also expected back from injury as early as Thursday, although he wasn’t placed on IR, so that wouldn’t impact the numbers. Once Hendricks, Lowry and Kulikov are all back, the Jets will be carrying two goalies, eight defencemen and 15 forwards. Mathieu Perreault, expected to miss at least three more weeks, would be the only remaining player on the injured list. It may be early, but the Central Division is already shaping up to be a major force this season. A quick glimpse at the NHL standings shows all seven teams are currently at or above .500. No other division can make that claim. St. Louis, who many expected to take a step back due to injuries, is off to an impressive 6-2-1 start. Chicago is right behind them, showing no signs of slowing down at 5-2-2. A revamped Dallas has come out strong at 5-3-0, while Stanley Cup finalist Nashville is at 4-3-1. Colorado seems to have put last year’s nightmare season behind them and are 4-4-0, while Minnesota has started 2-2-2. "We would expect that, straight through. No easy nights," Maurice said Monday. The expected tough battle makes divisional games so important. Winnipeg has played just one so far, the 4-3 win last Friday against Minnesota. Last year the Jets were an impressive 19-8-2 in their own division and still missed the playoffs by seven points. "We’ve played well there, for whatever that’s worth. Last year is last year, but we have some comfort against these teams," said Maurice. "It’s going to be a grinder." At least two NHL teams are in need of immediate goaltending help. And you wonder if Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff might be fielding calls these days about Michael Hutchinson. The Vegas Golden Knights are now without their top two netminders in Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban due to injury. And the Pittsburgh Penguins just put back-up Antti Niemi on waivers Monday after his terrible start to the season, including a 7.50 goals-against average and .797 save percentage. Hutchinson lost his NHL job once the Jets signed Steve Mason to partner with Connor Hellebuyck. He’s currently splitting duties on the Moose with Eric Comrie and is off to a nice start, sporting a 2-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and .918 SV%. The Jets would love to get Comrie more starts with the Moose, and they also have prospect Jamie Phillips waiting in the wings for a promotion from the ECHL, where he was an all-star last year. Winnipeg risked losing Hutchinson for nothing when they placed him on waivers near the end of training camp. You’d have to think Cheveldayoff would jump at the chance to get something — even a draft pick or prospect — if it made sense. Speaking of Vegas, they’ve opened many eyes around the league with a 6-1-0 start to their inaugural season. But Maurice said Monday he’s not surprised that coach Gerard Gallant is getting the most out of his troops. "There’s more to that than just hard work. They have a pretty good structure of a group in terms of having the roles filled for what they need. And they’re quick," he said. "I’ve watched them play a few games. They’ve earned their wins."

What he has, we don’t have a lot of. He’s going to have to fight like every other player to stay in the lineup every single night but if he’s healthy I’m going to find a way to get him in,” said Jets coach Paul Maurice.

  • Maurice Wants Production from Third, Fourth Lines with Nine Players in the Mix, Bottom Six Looks Crowded
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-wants-production-from-third- fourth-lines-452913503.html Maurice wants production from third, fourth lines With nine players in the mix, bottom six looks crowded By: Mike McIntyre It’s getting awfully crowded at the bottom for the Winnipeg Jets. But the team’s growing list of depth players — believed to be a strength headed into this season — have provided next to nothing when it comes to offence. That’s creating a frustrating situation for head coach Paul Maurice as he tries to figure out his lineup card these days, especially with a pair of injured forwards set to return and further cloud the situation. Consider this: the Jets' third and fourth lines have yet to score a goal in five-on-five play through seven games this year, in which they've managed to go 4-3-0. Brandon Tanev and Joel Armia each have a short-handed tally, while Andrew Copp assisted on a shorty scored by defenceman Tyler Myers. As for the rest of the lot, Shawn Matthias has no points through seven games despite ample chances. Nic Petan has been blanked in his six games, which has included plenty of power-play time. Marko Dano has nothing through five and Adam Lowry was kept off the scoresheet for four games prior to being injured. Brendan Lemieux has one game under his belt since being recalled from the Moose, while veteran Matt Hendricks has yet to play this season but is expected to be in the lineup Thursday when the Jets battle the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

  • A Fleet Transformed Just Five Members of the Relocated Atlanta Thrashers
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/a-fleet-transformed-449138983.html A fleet transformed Just five members of the relocated Atlanta Thrashers are still flying Jets colours seven years later as the rebuilt youthful, speedy squadron prepares for takeoff with soaring expectations By: Jason Bell Let’s hop in the time machine and program the date to Oct. 9, 2011. Winnipeg is buzzing over the return of the NHL, and the puck is about to drop on the inaugural season of the Jets 2.0 at the barn on Portage Avenue. The Montreal Canadiens are the visitors as Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler, Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien and Toby Enstrom line up for the opening faceoff. A tall, slender teen named Mark Scheifele is on the bench during the national anthem and will make his NHL debut just 3:05 into the first period. Ondrej Pavelec guards the net, offering the last line of protection against the Habs. There’s great hope surrounding the former Atlanta Thrashers — an eclectic mix of veterans, including two with Stanley Cup rings, and a reasonable crop of talented youngsters. Much of that initial excitement is little more than misguided, blind faith in a team that possesses a few key pieces, but is severely short on roster depth and the prospects cupboard is nearly bare. The Montreal Canadiens bring a shot of reality to the thunderous, electrified celebration at the MTS Centre that historic Sunday afternoon, beating the Jets 5-1. Credit the transplanted group for finishing the season with a respectable 37-35-10 record in the Southeast Division, rocking it at home at 23-13-5.

  • Maurice Needs to Solve Jets' Defensive Deficiencies
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-needs-to-solve-jets-defensive- deficiencies-451756153.html Maurice needs to solve Jets' defensive deficiencies By: Scott Campbell The Columbus Blue Jackets didn’t leave it to chance on Tuesday, totally dismantling the Winnipeg Jets in every area of the game, winning 5-2 and ending the Jets’ three-game win streak. After being blown out in the first two games because of atrocious defensive-zone work, Jets head coach Paul Maurice restored order by having his players collapse to the middle of the ice in the defensive zone. Considering what we had watched, I didn’t blame him. Attempting to establish positioning they could hold — and keep the play to the outside as much as possible — made sense to me, even though it’s not a favourite of mine. Sometimes, drastic measures are needed. Backboned by stellar play from goalie Connor Hellebuyck, three wins followed. Let’s throw out the Columbus game and look at those wins and the system. The problem moving forward is that while certain types of chances against are lessened, it also traumatizes the Jets’ ability to transition and go on the attack, taking advantage of their quick- strike power and high-end talent. That talent still holds in these low-event games Maurice wants them to play, but to alesser extent as you’re also producing fewer chances to score. We saw that during their winning streak — the wins over the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes were tight games. The Jets won 4-2 against Vancouver (with an empty-netter) but were outshot 32-20.
