Improved Special Teams Big Part of Recent Success Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/improved-special-teams-big-part-of- recent-success-461588263.html Improved special teams big part of recent success By: Jason Bell The Winnipeg Jets’ most recent victory provided some special times for their special-teams units. Winnipeg’s power play and penalty kill jumped in the overall rankings after stellar performances in the club’s 7-4 victory over the Golden Knights. After erasing five man-advantage situations for Vegas, Winnipeg’s penalty killers now have a 78.7 per cent efficiency rating, good enough for 19th in the NHL. But that’s four spots up from where they were Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, the power play continues to produce at a torrid pace and moved up two spots to fourth-best in the league (25.6 per cent) and No. 2-ranked on home ice (32.6). Tyler Myers, Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine scored as the Jets finished 3-for-5 with the Golden Knights short- handed. Talented and versatile centre Mark Scheifele said Saturday improved special-teams play has been a big factor in the team’s ascent in the standings. "When you’re scoring on the PP and you’re stopping the other teams on the PK, you are going to be successful," Scheifele said. "In today’s game, there’s a lot of the game that’s going to be played either a man up or a man down, and when you’re successful in those areas, you’re going to get a leg up on the opponent." He leads the Jets with 13 goals and 32 points, totals bolstered considerably by five tallies and 12 points with his club enjoying the man advantage. Scheifele also played more than two minutes with Winnipeg down a man, blocking a shot during a critical kill in the final period with Vegas pressing. "I haven’t killed a lot in this league and this year I’ve gotten that opportunity. It’s a huge honour to be out there to keep some pucks out when they’ve got a man up," he said. "Everyone has to block shots. There has to be sacrifice in this game. To be a successful team, you need everyone sacrificing, whether it’s taking a hit, making a hit, blocking a shot, whatever it is. That comes with the territory." Hendricks making a difference The signing of veteran centre Matt Hendricks raised some eyebrows late in the summer. He’d just turned 36, played only half the time in Edmonton last season and looked to be on the tail end of a long pro career that began 13 year ago with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. But the product of Blaine, Minn., has been a key ingredient to the Jets’ mix this season as the club sits perched atop the Western Conference standings. He scored a huge goal against Vegas to even the game at 2-2 with under seven minutes left in the second period, but his importance to the team won’t be judged in numbers. Hendricks took a skate blade to the side of his face earlier in the period and, fortunately, returned with a small gash that didn’t require stitches. His first shift back, he deflected away a couple of point drives while killing a penalty, and a shift or two after that, he broke down the right side and fired a laser beam to the far top corner that beat goalie Maxime Lagace. The 10-year NHL veteran, a gritty fourth-liner, now has three goals and three assists in 19 games. Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice said Hendricks’ major contribution, on the ice and off, has surprised no one within the organization. "It’s his reputation. He’s done this everywhere he’s been since his first time in the NHL, and we really felt that it could be a benefit for us," Maurice said. "Our top six (forward group) was young, but our bottom six was as well. There’s a mentorship there. He’s had a big impact with that kind of style. "There wouldn’t be a guy in that room that wouldn’t tell you how important Matt Hendricks’ role is and what he’s done for our team. Because of that, we’re hopeful that all the other players in that role see a value to what they do, above and beyond the stats, the goals and assists. "You can’t compare apples to oranges, and a hockey team has to have both. You can’t win with only one style of player." Home winning streak on the line The Jets had a relatively relaxing Saturday, with some off-ice meetings and media availability. But the club returns to the ice on Sunday when the Ottawa Senators visit. Game time is 6 p.m. The Jets have won five straight games at Bell MTS Place and are unbeaten in regulation in their last nine games at home (8-0-1). Connor Hellebuyck will get the start in goal, his fourth straight. Hellebuyck’s individual statistics sparkle. He is 14-2-3 this season, with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Meanwhile, injured goalie Steve Mason, out with a concussion, took a light skate Saturday and will accompany the Jets on next week’s three-game road trip. Winnipeg battles the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday and then plays two in Florida — Thursday in Sunrise against the Panthers and Saturday in Tampa Bay against the Lightning. The Senators (9-9-6) visit Bell MTS Place after pulling off a rare explosion of offence Friday night, posting a wild 6-5 triumph over the host New York Islanders. Ryan Dzingel’s second goal of the game, a power-play tally early in the third period, snapped a 5-5 tie and the Senators ended an ugly seven-game losing streak. Ottawa rookie defenceman Thomas Chabot scored his first career NHL goal in the second period to even the score at 4-4. During their 0-6-1 slide from Nov. 16-29, the Senators scored just nine goals. Mark Stone, 25, a Winnipegger and former Brandon Wheat Kings forward, has only two goals in his last eight contests, but still leads Ottawa with 14 goals and 25 points. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/connor-adjusting-quickly-to-life-in-the- nhl-461585823.html Connor adjusting quickly to life in the NHL Rookie sniper has chemistry with Scheifele and Wheeler on club's top line By: Jason Bell No matter his surroundings, Kyle Connor figures out how to score goals. When he was on the frozen rink his dad, Joe, built in the backyard of their home in Shelby Township, Mich., young Kyle whipped pucks into the net. Playing bantam for Belle Tire in the Detroit area, he consistently lit the lamp in his early teens. In three years of junior hockey with the Youngstown Phantoms, he had a pair of 30-goal campaigns. In his only year of college, he fired 35 goals in 38 games with the University of Michigan. Last winter, in his first pro season, he beat AHL goalies 25 times as a member of the Manitoba Moose and tallied the first two goals of his NHL career in limited duty for the Winnipeg Jets. He’s got it figured out this year, too, as a regular on the Jets’ top line with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Blake Wheeler. Heady company indeed for a guy who failed to even make the club out of training camp. On Friday, his power-play marker just 33 seconds into the third period — a wicked shot past Vegas goalie Maxime Lagace — snapped a 2-2 tie and helped propel the Jets to a 7-4 win. The former first-round pick (17th overall) in the 2015 NHL draft added an empty-netter to seal the deal. The two-goal output pushed the NHL rookie’s season total to nine in 21 games after he was recalled from the Moose on Oct. 16. He’s also chipped in eight assists and has been a key member of the Jets’ top line, undeniably one of the NHL’s premier trios. Connor says he’s just happy to be making a contribution. "Those guys are awesome. They’re two unbelievable, world-class players and I’ve just tried to find the open areas and they’re going to get it to me," he said of Scheifele and Wheeler, both occupying spots in the top-10 in league scoring. "It’s been a lot of fun. "I learn so much from those guys every day, how you have to play at this level. Whether we come back to the bench and it’s something one of them sees, we talk about it and bounce ideas off each other." His quick shot was evident the moment he arrived at Jets camp in 2016 — it’s just a gift he’s always possessed. "It’s always been part of how I played my whole life," he said. "It’s kind of continued and grown throughout my career. There’s no real adjustments to scoring goals. It’s better goalies and better defence, obviously, but my approach is always the same. "You find that quiet area on the ice and the players in this league will always find you. You look for the holes in the coverage, in the (defensive) zone, get there and make a play." Connor, a week shy of his 21st birthday, began the season with three goals in his first four games with the Moose.

  • 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.

  • Oilers Slip Past Canadiens
    SPORTS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2015 Oilers slip past Canadiens EDMONTON: Leon Draisaitl’s second goal with 1:02 left broke a tie and the Edmonton Oilers scored four straight goals in a 4-3 victory over the league-leading Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. Draisaitl was called up earlier in the day from Bakersfield of the AHL and missed the morning skate. He played in 37 NHL games last season. Brandon Davidson and Benoit Pouliot also scored, and the Oilers erased a 3-0 first-period deficit to end a three-game skid. Brendan Gallagher, Torrey Mitchell and Alex Galchenyuk scored for Montreal. The Canadiens have lost two straight after starting the season with nine straight victories. Edmonton completed the comeback when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed it out front to Draisaitl for his second of the contest. HURRICANES 3, ISLANDERS 2 Ron Hainsey scored at 2:21 of overtime to lift Carolina over New York. Brock McGinn and Chris Terry scored in regulation to help Carolina win its second straight to cap a 4-3-0 road trip. Eddie Lack stopped 17 shots. Hainsey took a pass from Jordan Staal and slid the puck past Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss near the midpoint of the extra period for his second of the season. Terry had tied the score with 5:04 left in the third, finishing off a slick passing play with Eric and Jordan Staal. The goal was Terry’s second of the season. Matt Martin and Frans Nielsen scored for the Islanders, and Greiss finished with 26 saves.

  • 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.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

  • Jets Expansion Draft Plan Coming Into Focus? Signing Dano Could Be Indicator
    Winnipeg Sun http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/06/13/jets-expansion-draft-plan-coming-into-focus Jets expansion draft plan coming into focus? Signing Dano could be indicator BY KEN WIEBE, WINNIPEG SUN There are still several moving parts and a few issues left to uncover or resolve, but the expansion plans for the Winnipeg Jets are coming into focus. While it's still unclear whether the Jets asked veteran defenceman Toby Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause before Monday's deadline, you'd have to think the conversation took place. When Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was asked directly about the topic of no-movement clauses at his year-end address, he said all options would be explored. Officially, the Jets won't be commenting on the process until after the protected lists are revealed on Sunday morning. Based on experience, one shouldn't expect too much detail to be given, even after the expansion draft picks are made public. It's a sensitive subject and one of the biggest reasons the NHL GM's didn't want the lists to be made public. Yes, it's possible the Jets could buy out the final year of Enstrom's $5.75 million contract, but that appears to be the most unlikely result. The Jets haven't bought out a player since the franchise relocated and it's hard to imagine Enstrom would be the first, especially since they still value his services when healthy. Buying him out would be both a costly proposition and leave a void on the left side of the defence depth chart.
