Resurgent Wheeler keeps producing for Jets in big win over Devils (Sportsnet.ca)

After going 21 games without a goal, Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler was reunited with Nikolaj Ehlers and Vladislav Namestnikov a few days ago.

“I think he saw what was developing and he made the extra effort and he used his strength and his size and his stick length, broke up a play, and it turns into the winning goal.” We’re building our playoff game and if it looks like that I think we’re going to be pretty happy in here,” said Hellebuyck. “The second unit went out, they did a good thing, and again it's 5-0, I hate to throw out that unit, I really do, but the most important thing is for our team. We’re sticking to our game and we’re building it. He recognized what was happening and it was a tremendous effort by him. We kind of have all the components you need to make a good line.” You know, when you’re in those scoring areas, just having the feel of what the right play is next. “Honestly, when it's 5-0, I hate to put that unit out there but our power play's got to get going,” said Bowness. He’s not a guy that needs the puck or wants the puck all the time. You don’t have the guys my size that can’t skate very well to skate around. You just have to evolve a little bit. "For me, I’m maybe a little bit past the part of creating a ton of space for myself, but to play with a guy that can put me in situations where I have time and space, I can still make some plays happen, given those opportunities.

Ehlers scores twice as Jets dominate Devils to boost playoff hopes ... (CBC.ca)

Connor Hellebuyck made 31 saves, Nikolaj Ehlers scored twice and Morgan Barron was successful on a penalty shot as the Jets defeated the visiting New Jersey ...

The Devils outshot Winnipeg 14-8 in the middle frame, but Hellebuyck made some key saves and his teammates helped him out by blocking shots. Winnipeg went up 3-0 at 2:42 of the second after Barron got a penalty shot when Devils defenceman Damon Severson held him on a breakaway. "We had a couple teams come in here on back-to-backs and we've been able to rest a little bit," Wheeler said. New Jersey went into the game 9-2-0 in the second half of back-to-back games, and 5-0 when those were road games. "I take nothing [from the game] except disappointment, because when you play back-to-back games you've got to be smarter," New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff said. "They wanted it more," Hischier said of the Jets.

Winnipeg stellar again with a 6-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils at Canada Life Centre.

Winnipeg went 1-for-3 on the power play, as did New Jersey. “That’s on-ice awareness, we talk a lot about on-ice awareness and that’s a perfect example,” Bowness said. “It’s definitely an emphasis for us to have good starts, especially when a team is coming in off a back-to-back,” Blake Wheeler said. “This is when you want to peak and I think that’s what we’re doing.” Calgary sits two points back and will be in Winnipeg on Wednesday for a potential season-defining matchup with the Jets. Seattle holds two games in hand.

He’s so dynamic. He’s so versatile. Analytically, the line is a positive for the club in terms of puck possession and expected goals. “He’s in the right spots. One, they just seem to click. Article content

Four Jets record multiple points in big win over Devils (NHL.com)

An important weekend for the Winnipeg Jets ended with what tennis fans would call a straight sets victory: 6-2, 6-1.

"In the second period you knew they were going to make a big push, and they did. Mackenzie Blackwood started the third in goal for the Devils, but the Jets kept up the pressure and were rewarded with 9:42 remaining in the period. The only downside of the evening was that Hellebuyck's shutout bid was broken with 13 second left on the clock. A strong forecheck led to the 4-0 goal from Connor. The lead increased to 2-0 after a great backcheck by Adam Lowry broke up a Devils rush and sent the Jets back the other way. "Vlad's such a smart player, he's always in the right spot. Winnipeg built the lead in dramatic fashion just under three minutes into the second, as Barron was awarded a penalty shot after being taken down on a partial break. "I kind of had that thought in mind during that stretch, I thought this could be something that tips the scales in our favour a little bit. Ehlers' 11th came 4:59 into the opening period and gave the Jets the first goal for the second straight game on the home stand. "They're making plays, they're starting to feel good to see that puck finally going in the net for them," said Jets head coach Rick Bowness. Blake Wheeler was one of the four Jets to record two points on the night. Obviously, we've had a couple of teams come in here playing back-to-backs as well, so I think the overriding point is schedule, circumstances have bounced in our favour a little bit."

Late Goal Spoils Jets Shutout Bid But Devils Lose 6-1 | GAME STORY (NHL.com)

With two goals allowed in each period, the Devils head home with a split on their two-game Central Division road trip.

The Devils have scored one goal in a game ten times this season, potting more than one on 67 occasions. Devils heading into this game were a league best 9-2-0 in the second half of back-to-backs but tonight's loss saw them fall to 9-3-0. Going into the game, Vitek Vanecek had never lost to the Jets (2-0-0). Devils added a power play goal with 13.9 seconds to play, making it a 6-1 final. On the ensuing penalty shot, Barron fired the puck five-hole past Vanecek to make it 3-0. They were faster, they were better in all areas of the ice. Nikolaj Ehlers was stationed at the top of the crease and redirected a pass from Blake Wheeler by Devils goalie Vitek Vanecek. but the players and head coach Lindy Ruff weren't making excuses for the loss, the team's first on the road in a back-to-back scenario this season (6-1-0). "They wanted it more," said Hischier. Winnipeg made it 6-0 with 5:50 remaining. They won all the foot races. We didn't get enough traffic, enough second opportunities.

GAMEDAY: Jets vs Devils (NHL.com)

The Winnipeg Jets continue a five-game home stand tonight against New Jersey.

There is also one aspect of the game that can't be overlooked. "It also brings Seattle back into the fight," said Bowness. a lot of teams we've played all year (are fast), but that's definitely (the Devils) identity," he said. "We played Edmonton back to back a couple of weeks ago now. We have the mentality here of playoff hockey already with these last six or seven games, so it will be a good test for us." "They have a lot of offence. And, for the second straight game, that opponent is coming in off a win and had to cross the border late last night. We have to make sure we don't give them opportunities." "It should be a really test overall for us," said Dillon. That's what we need at this time of the year." We're going to have to really work for them tonight. The Jets didn't do line rushes, but should Morrissey play, it's expected that Winnipeg's line-up will look like this, with Connor Hellebuyck getting his 60th start of the season:

3 Takeaways From Devils' 6-1 Loss to the Jets (The Hockey Writers)

The New Jersey Devils had their worst outing of the season in a 6-1 blowout loss to the Winnipeg Jets, as they weren't sharp from the get-go.

Ruff even gave him a look alongside Hughes and Mercer, though I don’t see that being a fit for the rest of the regular season. - Though the blame doesn’t go to them for the loss, it was a rough night for the Jonas Siegenthaler and Dougie Hamilton pairing. They’ll need to rebound for the team to have a chance at the season sweep of the Penguins tomorrow night. The good news for the Devils is that it took them 77 games to have their worst outing of the season. What was most impressive about Bahl’s night is he was not on the ice for a single goal against at five-on-five and only one of the six at all strengths. He was one of the few (maybe only) Devils that wasn’t getting beat to loose pucks consistently. It also came in the second half of a back-to-back and was their third game in four nights. On Nikolaj Ehlers’ goal that opened up the scoring, the Devils lost a puck battle behind the net. But it was a completely different scenario in Winnipeg, as the Jets are clinging to the second and final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Vitek Vanecek made the save, but that was a sign of things to come. Nino Niederreiter had a breakaway a minute into the contest after Dougie Hamilton misplayed a puck that was in the air. Blowout losses have been a rarity for the New Jersey Devils this season.

Nikolaj Ehlers scored two goals for the Winnipeg Jets in a 6-1 win against the New Jersey Devils at Canada Life Centre on Sunday.

"Now, back-to-back six goal games (Winnipeg won 6-2 against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday), that's rare for us, but it's really good to see. Wheeler won a puck battle with Jonas Siegenthaler below the goal line and passed to Ehlers, who was left all alone for a one-timer in front. "They were faster, they were better in all areas of the ice. New Jersey fell three points back of the Carolina Hurricanes for first place in the Metropolitan Division. You want to establish your game and take over the first period and hopefully make them chase the game."
