2. Jets Bounce Back After Their Goal is Disallowed
As we talk about on the next slide, due to Connor Hellebuyck’s terrific performance, the Jets were getting outplayed for most of this game.
Finally, in the mid-second period, the Jets earned a powerplay and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored to put the Jets up 1-0.
A couple of minutes later, Winnipeg executed a terrific passing play and Evgeny Svechnikov capped this playoff with a snipe that beat the Vegas’ goaltender.
This put the Jets up 2-0, but Vegas decided to use their challenge on the play and the goal was called back for offsides.
Then during the next run of play, Svechnikov took a slashing penalty. Things could have taken a terrible turn for the Jets at this moment but they stuck to their game plan.
The Jets killed off the Svechnikov penalty and then they were rewarded with the second goal of the game courtesy of a Mark Scheifele tip-in.
The Jets showed their ability to bounce back yesterday. Whether Vegas controlled the play or things like the disallowed goal and the penalty went against the Jets, they found a way to stick to their game plan and were rewarded for their efforts.
