Ehlers Continues To Be Driving Force Of Jets Offence As He Spoils Laine S Return

And when the dust had settled, it was Ellers who ended up having the last laugh. On a night when so much publicity and attention was focused on Lane for his first match against his former team in front of a fan base he absolutely adored, it was Ellers who took center stage with the game on the line. As the Jets interim coach, Dave Lowry, put three very capable strikers in extra time three on three and went on the attack, Ehlers took a pass from Kyle Connor, looking over his shoulder at two different occasions to see how much room he had with Columbus Blue Jackets defender Zach Werenski in pursuit. When Ehlers had determined that his nearest pursuer could not catch him, he focused on what he planned to do when he fell tightly on Elivs Merzlikins, finally deciding to make a quick shot through the gates in just 21. seconds in overtime. at three. “I like the five holes,” said Ehlers, who secured a sixth straight season with 20 goals in Friday’s 4-3 triumph. “I did two shoulder checks there. I just did not want to go too fast, so I left it there for a while. That’s why I was looking to see where he was. “ There were times when the splits were equivalent to kryptonite for the Ehlers, but on a night when the Jets struggled to regroup after an incredible 5-2 defeat by the Ottawa Senators just the night before, he managed to deliver a dagger. The fact that Ehlers was able to steal the thunder from his close friend should come as no surprise, as he is in himself a player who breaks the game. Ever since he returned from a knee injury that cost him almost a quarter of the season (19 games for those of you who want to be precise or score at home), Ellers has been the driving force behind an explosive Jets attack. . He creates goal opportunities for himself and his teammates at an extremely high pace and his production has matched the pace. With seven goals and five assists for 12 points in 12 games since returning to the squad, Ehlers does not seem to have lost a single defeat. His explosiveness and ability to pull back the defenders was fully evident, whether he was playing alongside Connor and Pierre-Luc Dubois or with Mark Scheifele and Paul Stastny, as he was on Friday night. Ehlers also showed some courtesy, lovingly cutting Laine’s stick while lining up against him on the wing during a tie-break. “I do not know. This was the first time I was on the ice against Patty, on the other side,” Ehlers said. a little bit different, it was fun, we won the game, so that’s great. “ The Jets did a great job preventing Laine from finding the match sheet, limiting the Finnish sniper to four shots on goal and seven shooting attempts. But that did not mean that Line was not dangerous, even though he showed some signs of nervousness that he admitted he had during his meeting with reporters on Friday morning. He unloaded a few meters and then showed a great performance late in the contest that was overturned. “It’s scary, for sure. “I mean, obviously, when he has a little time and space anywhere in the reception, you want to try to get there as quickly as possible to get rid of it because we’ve always seen that for years,” said Jets defender Josh. Morrissey. “It’s always weird to play with former teammates for the first time. But you have to respect their ability and the speed and the speed (of Jack Roslovich) and the ability (of Lane) to score and beat you one on one. “I took him (Lane) a few times with the checks with the stick and he made me fake a few times. It was what we did for years in practice, so it was fun to do it and play against it. But surely, as I said, you have a lot of respect for the games and their abilities. “ Morrissey played a huge role in limiting Laine’s effectiveness and also scored an important power-play goal that gave the Jets a 2-0 lead. However, with just 19.4 seconds to complete the regular time and the Jets to protect the lead of one goal, Morrissey received a slashing minor who took an empty goal from Blake Wheeler from the board. Instead of putting the game on ice, the Jets faced a two-player disadvantage as the Blue Jackets pulled their goalkeeper in favor of an extra striker and needed only five hits to hit Oliver Bjorkstrand, sending the game into extra time. While it should be noted that Sean Kuraly pushed Morrissey to the boards initially and seemed to embellish the seriousness of the stick contact when the Jets defender retaliated shortly before the net went into the empty net, it was Morrissey who showed incredible responsibility when discussing. the project in question. “At the end of the day, the emotions are high, it’s the last minute of the game,” said Morrissey, who has 11 of the best goals of his career in the goal category. “Obviously we are fighting. I did not like the hit (of Kuraly). But at the end of the day, I have to control my emotions there and not put my team down and take the goal off the board. That’s why you have your teammates picking you up when you make mistakes. This was a play that I would love to have again, for sure. “But we found a way to OT, and the guy next to me saved my ass.” Morrissey endured the feeling of loneliness that accompanies sitting on the penalty spot when the game is on the line. “When that happens, I feel like the youngest guy in the arena. “And rightly so,” said Morrissey. “(The referee) thought I cut him off, which I did. And he thought I did it before the goal came. This is really the only… I did not like the hit either, but as I said, I cut it, what can I say. It’s a penalty. “ This was a true example of leadership. It would have been easy for Morrissey to say it was a gentle call (which it was) or that his opponent took a dip (as it seemed), but instead, he pointed the finger at himself and said his frustration had to be parked. in this situation instead of forcing his team to play short in the lost seconds of set time. “It shows you the type of person he is and the leadership he provides,” said Lowry, whose team is improving to 31-25-10 and is temporarily three points behind the Dallas Stars, who have three games in hand. “He owns the moment and it just shows the type of character and the player he is.” The Jets’ backup goalkeeper Eric Comrie continued his strong play this season, making 33 saves as he won a fifth straight start and improved to 8-2-1 overall. These early-season questions about whether or not Comrie was ready to handle the job at the NHL level seem like a distant memory. “This guy is doing his ass,” Ehlers said. “Yes, he does not play much, but when he does, he plays fantastically. We have two goalkeepers who give us a chance to win. When you have a guy like (Comrie) who, in every workout, goes out there, 20, 30 minutes before and stays to do what the extra guys want to do, he stays out and for that, he deserves it. “He is a wonderful guy from the ice and we love him in the room. It’s awesome to see how well it goes, and we obviously like that. “We have two goalkeepers who are fantastic and that is great.”
