The Winning Formula on and Off the Ice Victory a Matter of Chemistry for Talented Young Jets Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/the-winning-formula-on-and-off-the-ice- 448397353.html The winning formula on and off the ice Victory a matter of chemistry for talented young Jets By: Jeff Hamilton When Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers parted ways this past summer, they both knew it wouldn’t be long before they were back talking again. As the off-season rolled on, the number of Snapchats sent to one another also climbed. The updates were sporadic but followed a common trend, with the subject matter being mostly anything but hockey. "More just, ‘Hey, what’s going on?" Ehlers said following Wednesday’s skate at Bell MTS Iceplex. "Or, ‘What kind of car do you have?’" The Winnipeg Jets forwards clicked almost instantly in their first season together. Laine, a rookie after being selected second in the 2016 NHL Draft, and Ehlers, who was in just his second year, often worked closely with each other, perfecting small details of the game. Outside the rink they battled in front of the TV playing video games. While their friendship blossomed off the ice, so, too, did their play on it. Laine scored a team- high 36 goals for the Jets, while Ehlers collected career highs in goals (25), assists (39) and points (64). Though they only played roughly 30 games on a line together, they both credit the kind of relationship they were able to build together — along with a number of their other friendships on the team — for their success. "We all have some good chemistry together on and off the ice, so it doesn’t really matter who you play with, you still have that chemistry," Ehlers said. "It’s not that big of a change to switch lines — not on this team." Chemistry is crucial for every team, but it’s even more important for a team as young as the Jets. Winnipeg had 20 players at or under the age of 25 play at least one game last season, with many in their first or second year in the league. While the Jets had some success in the offensive zone — finishing tied for sixth in the NHL last year with 249 goals — a lack of communication at the other end led to an average of 3.11 goals against per game (fourth worst in the NHL). The Jets are expected to compete for a playoff spot this season after signing a number of free agents. They inked goalie Steve Mason for two years and shored up the left side of the defence by signing Dmitry Kulikov to a three-year deal. But while the additions were crucial to building a winner, making sure things gel quickly will be paramount in fulfilling any post-season aspirations. On Wednesday, head coach Paul Maurice was asked what, if anything, his players or coaching staff could do to help improve that chemistry. "More game-situation drills, which is really what we’ve tried to do here right from (the start of training) camp," the Jets coach said. "Chemistry is that anticipation of what the other player is going to do. So the more time you spend together, the more you learn to anticipate. "Then if their skill sets don’t match and they’re not complementary, then there’s no chemistry there. They can be two really good players that just don’t fit by the style of their game." Maurice has spent training camp trying to discover what fits best, including tinkering with line combinations at forward and pairings on defence. He said the goal is to find pairs on offence that work well together — Blake Wheeler and Mark Schiefele, Laine and Bryan Little, as examples — and from there, envision the different looks the lineup could take under varying circumstances. "It’s more important to have that chemistry on defence," Maurice said. "The communication, how a guy moves, whether he’s going to the corner for the puck or to the front of that net… that’s really important." ● ● ● Forward Nic Petan has spent the past two seasons trying to create a role for himself with the Jets, playing the equivalent of one full season (80 games) since cracking the opening-day roster in 2015. He’s not alone, as forwards Andrew Copp, Marko Dano, and Brandon Tanev have all played notable time with the Jets but are fighting for more. Others, including Brendan Lemieux, J.C. Lipon and Kyle Connor, are looking for their first real taste of NHL life. Petan knows if he’s going to earn a permanent spot with the Jets, it will be because he can complement a line and not because of his individual skill set. "Chemistry is going to be the first thing that takes you to playoffs," he said. "If you’re just mixing in guys, there’s less of a chance of that. Where we’re at right now, the room is super close this year already. Chemistry off the ice with guys, chemistry on the ice — we are on the right path." It took a few years for defenceman Josh Morrissey to find his place. It wasn’t until last season, three years after he was drafted as the 13th-overall pick, that he skyrocketed up the depth chart after being nurtured by Dustin Byfuglien. "Competing alongside someone in practice or in a game, I think that’s when you really feel that bond where you know that guy has your back and he’s working with you and try to get the win," Morrissey said. "Then, outside the rink everyone talks about Patty (Laine) and Nikky (Ehlers) playing video games and stuff like that. We’re all just guys away from the rink where we hang out and that’s where a lot of those bonds are really made." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/jets-score-comeback-win-over-sens-448391933.html Jets score comeback win over Sens By: Mike McIntyre The spotlight was shining bright, with time running out on their chances to crack the roster of the Winnipeg Jets. By the end of the night, a pair of bubble players gave their coach plenty to ponder in a 5-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Marko Dano and Nic Petan teamed up to score a beautiful game-winning goal late in the final frame. "Tonight was a good game, a lot of open ice. We capitalized on the loose pucks that we got," said Petan, who was credited with a first period power play goal before setting up linemate Dano with a sweet saucer pass to break the deadlock. Winnipeg has just one pre-season game left, and they're expected to bring something close to their final team for the quick trip to Calgary on Saturday. There's not enough room on the team for Dano, Petan, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp, Brandon Tanev, Brendan Lemieux and J.C. Lipon, who all dressed Wednesday. It's likely three, or possibly four, are destined for the Manitoba Moose barring injury. "I got a pretty good handle on the way I think it’s going to look," Maurice said following the win without tipping his hand. Wednesday provided a good test as Ottawa brought an experienced lineup to town. Bobby Ryan opened the scoring just three minutes into the game, somehow bouncing a shot on the ice and past Connor Hellebuyck. It was definitely one the young netminder would like back.Petan tied it up late in the first, showing off a great set of hands with an apparent tip of a Josh Morrissey point shot during a power play. Dano provided a nice screen on the play. Petan was a buzzsaw in the first period with two other quality chances to score. The first one, a tip, was stopped by Ottawa goalie Mike Condon. The second was fired over the net. Connor had a tough shift midway through the second, getting his pocket picked by Ottawa's Alex Formenton just outside his own blue-line. Formenton skated in alone and beat Hellebuyck to put the Senators up 2-1.Connor, Petan and Dano got caught running around in their end on an extended shift and delayed penalty later in the frame. Ottawa made them pay, as Kyle Turris finished off a sweet passing play to make it 3-1. That line had been on the ice for all three Ottawa goals. Connor showed off his puck-handling skills late in the second with the Jets on the power play, drawing a slashing penalty that put his team on a two-man advantage. Dustin Byfuglien quickly capitalized as his blast found the back of the net just before the period expired. Bryan Little tied it up midway through the third with the Jets once again enjoying a man advantage. Dano then set-up the winning goal with an incredible solo effort, stripping Ottawa of the puck in his own end, pushing it up to Petan, jumping into the rush and then burying the return saucer feed."Honestly, I didn’t think (Dano) was going to grab that puck there. It was kind of feathering through the blue line there, he got it with one hand and tipped it over to me. I had it cocked, I (was) ready to shoot. The D-man kind of slid on the ice over to me, so I just made the pass," Petan said of the highlight-reel play. "Just do the things right and just be good in the practices, play hard in the game and earn a spot," Dano said following the game of his mindset.

  • Flying Higher and Higher Jets Make Mincemeat out of Senators, Match Lightning for NHL Points Lead
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-blank-senators-5-0- 461736143.html?k=reVCLe Flying higher and higher Jets make mincemeat out of Senators, match Lightning for NHL points lead By: Mike McIntyre They’re like sharks in the water these days. And when the Winnipeg Jets smell blood, their killer instinct takes over. Such was the case again Sunday night at Bell MTS Place, as the Ottawa Senators turned into easy prey thanks to several self-inflicted wounds. Winnipeg struck early and often, including three times on the power play, to cruise to a 5-0 victory that actually wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicates. "Maybe one of the most dominating performances I’ve been part of in this league, to be honest. From the first minute, we took over the game," said forward Mathieu Perreault. The new-look top line, which saw Perreault take the spot of injured Kyle Connor, led the way. Captain Blake Wheeler had a goal and three assists, Perreault scored and added two helpers, and Mark Scheifele had a goal and assist as the Jets improved to 17-6-4, including 9-0-1 in their past 10 home games. Winnipeg leads the Western Conference and is tied with Tampa Bay for most points in the NHL. Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 21 shots he faced for his first shutout of the year. Winnipeg fired 49 shots, their most in any game this season and just one short of their single-game franchise record, on Ottawa’s net.

  • October 24 Press Clips
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips October 24, 2015 Canadiens beat Sabres 7-2 to improve to 8-0 By Nick Mendola AP October 24, 2015 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Andrei Markov had a career night for the streaking Montreal Canadiens. The defenseman crossed the 500-point mark with a career-best five points and the Canadiens beat the Buffalo Sabres 7-2 on Friday night to run their season-opening winning streak to eight games. "Maybe, I just got lucky today," Markov said after finishing with a goal and four assists. "It's great to have eight wins, but tomorrow is another challenge." The Canadiens are two victories away from matching the NHL record set by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1993-94 and matched by the Sabres in 2006-07. Brendan Gallagher joked that he was surprised Markov had so many points. "It's a pretty undercover 500 points," Gallagher said. "He's pretty special, year after year. It's not every day that you get to see a guy put up 500 points." Gallagher and Dale Weise each scored twice, and Max Pacioretty and Torrey Mitchell also scored. Mike Condon made 34 saves, and P.K. Subban and Tomas Plekanec each had three assists. "When they put up seven, it makes any goalie's job easier," Condon said. "It was really nice to see the offense explode tonight." Matt Moulson and Ryan O'Reilly scored for Buffalo, and Cody Franson had two assists. Cody Franson had two assists, and Chad Johnson allowed all seven goals. "You're playing a team that hasn't lost a game all year," Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges said.
