Visiting Jets Have Dallas Seeing Stars Winnipeg Squad Flying High on Road Trip Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/huge-second-period-gives-jets-5-3-victory-over- stars-475066243.html Visiting Jets have Dallas seeing stars Winnipeg squad flying high on road trip By: Mike Sawatzky DALLAS — The Winnipeg Jets took their grinding road show to Texas on Saturday night, and like Missouri a day before, they were not going to be denied. Winnipeg fell behind 1-0 on a goal by Dallas’ Tyler Pitlick 10 seconds into the game, but rallied with five second-period goals en route to a 5-3 triumph over the Stars before a sellout crowd of 18,532 at American Airlines Center. The win pulled the 37-16-9 Jets into a tie with the idle Nashville Predators atop the NHL’s Central Division. The Preds, who visit Winnipeg on Tuesday night, have two games in hand. Fourth-place Dallas, meanwhile, dropped to 35-23-4. Nikolaj Ehlers tied the game 1-1 with the teams playing 4-on-4 just 39 ticks into the second period. "We played last night, we knew it wasn’t going to be easy," Ehlers said. "But we bounced back after those 10 seconds, and after that we played the way we should’ve. It was a good first period and after that, it just kept rolling." Toby Enstrom put the visitors up 2-1 at 6:32, beating Kari Lehtonen five-hole after a nifty setup by Jack Roslovic, who had juked his way past a Dallas defender at the blue line. It was the Swede’s first of the season and his first in 87 games — his last goal coming way back on Nov. 3, 2016. "It was awesome," Jets captain Blake Wheeler said. "Toby doesn’t care about that kind of stuff, though. When I was in Atlanta, he was an all-star, running-the-first-unit-power-play kind of guy. He’s embraced a different role for the good of the team and helped us out a ton this summer (by waiving his no-move clause for the expansion draft). "The consummate teammate, so any time a guy has success, you get fired up for him. You probably see the expression on his face — it didn’t matter one way or another. But he was fired up to get one for the boys, so that was fun." Mark Scheifele added to the lead88 seconds later from the slot, pounding Wheeler’s heads-up feed past Lehtonen. Patrik Laine, who was stymied on a penalty shot earlier in the period, continued Winnipeg’s offensive onslaught four minutes later, starting the breakout in his own end before passing to Ehlers, who returned the puck with the 19-year-old Finn ripping his 30th of the season. Lehtonen, who surrendered four goals on 21 shots, headed to the bench to be replaced by Ben Bishop. Laine promptly added his 31st and now has 12 goals and 16 points in eight career games against the Stars. Winnipeg scored five times on nine shots in 20 minutes. "Most times, Patty doesn’t score you still think he could’ve had three or four against any team," Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. "Any shot is dangerous that he has. He finds the holes here really well. (He) didn’t miss on the penalty shot by much." Tyler Seguin finally ended the bleeding for the Stars, scoring his 31st, with 33 seconds left in the middle period. Alexander Radulov added a goal for the hosts in the final minute, but the game was long over. "Well, we were in a position to take a big step; we didn’t take it," Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We could’ve really taken a step today the way we played in the first period. They made us pay for every mistake, and they have skill and speed and it shows itself off the rush. Our scoring chances are mostly off the grind, and they were able to make us pay off the rush. We gave up a breakaway that ended up being a penalty shot, and we ended up giving up two 3-on-2s that ended up in the back of our net." Michael Hutchinson made a surprise start in net for the Jets when Maurice opted to give workhorse Connor Hellebuyck the night off. Hellebuyck had made 10 consecutive starts, and Hutchinson performed ably, despite the rust associated with making his first appearance since Jan. 30. He finished with 33 saves. "We definitely score goals, and that’s one of the luxuries of playing here," Hutchinson said. "We allow the goal in the first 10 seconds — you know it’s tough especially in the second game of a back-to-back — it’s just not the start you’re looking for. As a goalie, you know if you can keep them to one goal for the rest of the period and into the second period, there’s a good chance we’re going to score at least one." The steady brilliance of veteran blue-liner Dustin Byfuglien was on display again. Maurice called him Winnipeg’s best player, and the evidence was compelling — three assists, a plus-2 rating and a game-high 26:03 of ice time. All the while, Byfuglien was low-risk in the defensive zone with plenty of physical presence. "What we were good at tonight was we were on pucks, and we knocked a lot of pucks down and countered back quickly," Maurice said. "It’s difficult to defend well on change of possession. But the forwards, especially, skated well and knocked a lot of pucks down and created some quick strikes." DEADLINE TIME: Will Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff add some veteran help prior to the league’s Monday trade deadline? The possibilities aren’t keeping Maurice awake at night, even though the Jets were apparently close to acquiring centre Derick Brassard from the Ottawa Senators. Sportsnet’s John Shannon reported Friday the Vegas Golden Knights became involved in a three-way trade with the Senators and Pittsburgh, in which Brassard ended up with the defending-champion Penguins. Vegas took on 40 per cent of Brassard’s salary, in part, to block a trade to the Jets, a Western Conference rival. "I’ve been through this enough to know you can have a plan, and things you want to do — and every team does — and it either happens for you or it doesn’t," Maurice said. "It’s not a matter of want. If you want to improve your team — can you get it down with something that makes sense? Kevin’s been working really, really hard at it, as are all the GMs. I don’t spend any time thinking about it. Sometimes of the best trades you ever made, never happen." There were suggestions Saturday the Jets were making a play for Montreal centre Tomás Plekanec, who was a healthy scratch for the Habs on Saturday. Could Plekanec centre a line with Laine and Ehlers? Stay tuned. NOTEWORTHY: The Stars were 0 for 4 on the power play. Winnipeg was 1 for 2... Current Jets player development assistant and former Dallas Star Mike Keane dropped the puck for the ceremonial opening faceoff for Veterans Appreciation Night at American Airlines Center... Pitlick’s first-period goal established a Stars franchise record for the fastest goal from the start of a home game. The previous mark was set Oct. 20, 1977 by Roland Eriksson of the Minnesota North Stars. Winnipeg Sun http://winnipegsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets/byfuglien-at-his-best-in-jets-win-over- stars Byfuglien at his best in Jets win over Stars By Ken Wiebe DALLAS — When Jacob Trouba went down, Dustin Byfuglien had to know it was time to step up. Byfuglien is no fan of the media spotlight and made it seem as though it was simply business as usual when Trouba left the Winnipeg Jets lineup 12 games ago with an ankle injury. Since that time, Byfuglien returned to his previous role on the top pairing with Toby Enstrom and has been fantastic. Enjoying the increase in ice time and responsibility, Byfuglien’s latest contribution included three assists in a 5-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night at American Airlines Center. “(Byfuglien) was outstanding. There were times when he was the best player on the ice,” said Jets captain Blake Wheeler, who recorded his 54th assist of the season. “He can dictate so much with his size and his presence. When he throws his weight around a bit, he seems to find a little bit more ice. He has a great understanding of the game, he reads the game incredibly well. “When he’s quick and he’s on his toes, he creates a lot of odd-man rushes for us by stepping up on the play and breaking up plays.” With the win, the Jets swept this two-game road trip against Central Division teams that are chasing them in the standings. By improving to 37-16-9, the Jets moved nine points up on the Stars with just 20 games remaining in the regular season. The Jets play host to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday at Bell MTS Place. While it’s true Byfuglien has done a much better job with the risk/reward element of his game this season, he has paid even more attention to that area of late. Byfuglien led all skaters on Saturday by taking 30 shifts for 26:20 of ice time and was a force.

  • Taylor Hall Honed His Skills on Backyard Rinks
    Taylor Hall honed his skills on backyard rinks http://www.faceoff.com/story_print.html?id=2787495&sponsor= Taylor Hall honed his skills on backyard rinks BY JOHN MACKINNON, EDMONTON JOURNAL APRIL 10, 2010 Taylor Hall began playing hockey at age three and spent hours on the rink alone or with the neighbourhood kids, who included T.J. Galiardi, two years older than Hall, and a current member of the Colorado Avalanche. Photograph by: Windsor Star, Windsor Star WINDSOR, Ont. — Taylor Hall is one of the two fresh faces of the NHL’s next generation, but he’s really a throwback, a backyard rink rat who honed his dynamic game playing for hours on the ice surface outside his back door. “It’s hard to be a hockey player without a backyard rink,” said Taylor’s dad, Steve Hall, an ex-CFL player and former member of Canada’s bobsled team. “There’s no question, that’s where the kids learn.” Young Hall learned plenty noodling around on the backyard rink, to the point neither Steve nor Taylor think it accidental he has become the dynamic player he is. Last Wednesday, NHL Central Scouting rated Hall second overall in their final rankings, behind slick centre Tyler Seguin of the Ontario Hockey League’s Plymouth Whalers, after both players shared the league’s scoring title with 106 points. The two 18-year-olds have taken turns atop the rankings all season, so the final ‘pick ’em’ rating was hardly a surprise just a bit less than three months from the entry draft in Los Angeles in June.

    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

  • Columbus Blue Jackets Announce Promotions
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JUNE 16, 2021 COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS ANNOUNCE PROMOTIONS, CHANGES WITHIN CLUB’S HOCKEY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT Rick Nash, Josef Boumedienne promoted; former Jackets Derek Dorsett, Mark Letestu named development coaches COLUMBUS, OHIO – Columbus Blue Jackets General Manager and Associate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen announced several changes to the club’s hockey operations department today. Rick Nash has been promoted to director of player development and Josef Boumedienne has been promoted to director of pro scouting, while former Blue Jackets Derek Dorsett and Mark Letestu have been named development coaches. In addition, Brad Thiessen has replaced Jim Corsi as goaltending development coach and Nelson Ayotte has retired after five seasons with the club, including the past four as director of high performance. “We are always looking to strengthen our hockey operations group and these moves do just that, particularly in the area of player development,” said Kekalainen. “In Rick, Derek, Mark and Brad, we have four former players with a combined 34 years of experience in the NHL and 17 in the AHL, as well as having played major junior and college, so they will be able to share a wealth of knowledge and experience with prospects throughout our organization. They are also passionate about the Blue Jackets, our city and what we are building here.” Nash, 37, will supervise the club’s development coaches, oversee the progress of prospects throughout the organization and provide feedback to management on player advancement. He spent the past two years with the Blue Jackets as a special assistant to the general manager following a decorated 15-year playing career.
