Samberg out tonight vs. Islanders (personal): https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/ice-chips-winnipeg-jets-d-dylan-samberg-personal-out-tuesday-against-new-york-islanders-1.2264933

Hustling start, no results , then Iles took over for quite some time 
that helped them get something like the next 17 shots, sadly with a couple goals and the rest was competitive but no points in the standings for our boys.
Kupari just might, certainly hope not, have a concussion happening
Hooray, the PP got 2 on 3 chances.

I, too, was happy to see the PP produce tonight but, my goodness, the Isles were taking Jets down all night with a lot of trips that weren't called. I get that the game was in NY but a penalty is a penalty. The Jets earned the right to be on the PP half the night! Call the game, ref.

Powerplay finally clicks, but that's about it. Unimpressive showing last night.

Yes, the PP was back to normal last night. Now just need to find some 5 on 5 scoring. CP91, NE27, KC81, and JM44 all had excellent looks and couldn't find the back of the net.

Our offense has really dried up as of late. Not gonna win many games when you score 1 or 2. Silver lining is that we haven't fallen off and looked bad in any of these games, just not our dominant selves.

We were inevitably going to go through some low point because an 11 game streak doesn't last forever, and I can live with some adversity here and there. Really want to get back in the win column again tomorrow night, though.

Agree. You never want losing to become a habit (so ditch this losing streak ASAP). You want winning to become a habit.

Some size/sandpaper to the top 6 couldn't hurt, IMO.

Hopefully an extra day of rest helps the team; they've looked pretty tired the last two games.

The Jets have done really good this season, far exceeding what I thought they'd do. But size and sandpaper is going to be needed when the dirt starts flying in the playoffs. The Jets aren't a heavy team and when the games turn physical in the playoffs, look out. Although we're in first place overall, that will mean as much as it did for the Bruins when they finished first, one and done.

Jets, Panthers swapping goalies: https://illegalcurve.com/seravalli-report-winnipeg-jets-and-florida-panthers-make-a-goalie-swap-dealing-kaapo-kahkonen-for-chris-driedger/

As per Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff the Jets and Panthers made a goalie swap today with Winnipeg sending minor league goalie Kaapo Kahkonen to the defending champs for Winnipegger Chris Driedger.

Kahkonen was signed as a free agent with the potential to be the backup to Connor Hellebuyck but he was beat out by Eric Comrie. He's been with the Moose for the majority of the season. He is 6-14-0 with a 2.57 GAA and a .855 save%.

Chris Driedger has spent the entirety of this season in the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers. He is 10-6-4 with a 2.97 GAA and a .878 save%. Last season he was in the Seattle organization which went all the way to the AHL Final. In total he's played 67 NHL games for Ottawa (who drafted him in the 3rd round of the 2012 Draft), Florida and Seattle.

Update: Jets have now confirmed the deal.

Lol...

That's not a trade...

[Jockitch]

Impressive first couple periods and then mostly protecting lead in the 3rd. Another steady performance from Comrie

[Pigskin]

Two more PP goals. Nice to get a couple of 5 on 5 goals. CP91 having trouble scoring again. Hope he can turn this around  soon.
