Winnipeg responded with a nice shift by the top trio, as Iafallo won a battle behind the net before finding Connor on the doorstep. Arizona picked up the tempo and started to control the flow of play in the middle of the frame, but Schmidt made a nice stick-check to break up their best scoring chance. That almost sums up the first 9 minutes of the opening period, as the two squads combined for a mere 5 shots. A nice move while keeping the puck in the zone saw Morrissey set up DeMelo for a 1 timer, but no traffic in front made it an easier save for the Yotes’ Vejmelka. A nice forecheck by Iafallo on the dump in freed the puck up for the Jet center, allowing him to send it back to the point. Brossoit began confidently as he easily gloved the Coyotes’ first shot towards Winnipeg’s net and the Scheifele line broke out for their own offensive chance. Let’s see if I got my wish….Īs has become the norm for the Jets, the Lowry line started things off and immediately had a chance on Arizona’s net when Morrissey set up Niederreiter for a glorious chance, but a nice defensive play blocked the shot attempt. After watching the Winnipeg Jets farm team getting demolished by the Toronto Marlies, I was hopeful that the big club would provide better entertainment.
