There's a lot of teams that have faced adversity with injuries early in the season. It was bound to happen sooner than later. I thought Samberg was easily one of the 3 best Jets defensemen to start the year, so that's going to hurt. I don't think this game gave Scott Arniel much confidence in Haydn Fleury to step up, he was fighting it a bit out there I thought.
Miller did well to step up, with Pionk on his offside, but this one could have some impact. The only other shutdown LD on the team is Morrissey so we'll see how that affects the lineup.
I thought the Jets started well enough but as the game wore on legs weren't there. Happens on back to backs. Lowry's line was the only real pushback line from the 2nd period on. Loved their goal.
I didn't like that headshot by Nyqvist in any way, and I was surprised there was no response from anyone, it was fairly obvious.
Kelly Sutherland didn't do the Jets any favours either, but let's not go there.
On to Minnesota. Next man up. Is that next man Salomonsson?
