@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social“A lot of things to build off. A lot of things to clean up.”
Turkey. Stuffing. And a heaping helping of rest and recovery.
The #NHLJets have plenty to be thankful for this holiday weekend as they unwind following a busy start to their season.

The #NHLJets sure looked like a team that was running on fumes Friday.
Playing for the fifth time in eight days, the club suffered its first regulation loss of the young season.

@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialReposted by @mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialIt's early and the sample size is small, but there's no shortage of NHL teams that could use some goaltending help.
What does that mean for Connor Hellebuyck and the #NHLJets?

@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social#NHLJets have 13 goals through 5 games:
Kyle Connor: 6
Cole Perfetti: 3
Dylan DeMelo: 1
Mario Ferraro: 1
Adam Lowry: 1
Alex Iafallo: 1
The other 15 skaters who have played: 0 combined.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialTough night for the #NHLJets, who lay their first egg of the young season.
From the goalie on out, plenty of blame to go around as Winnipeg falls 5-1 to Anaheim.
That's the end of a 5-in-8 stretch in which they go 3-1-1.
Next: vs Minnesota on Tuesday.
Happy Thanksgiving.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialPlayers and coach spoke post-game about being fatigued from playing 5 in 8, and how that's especially a tall order against a really fast team like Anaheim which they feel exposed them, especially over the past 2 periods.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialTonight's crowd at Canada Life Centre for the #NHLJets third home game of the season: 13,693.
Winnipeg drew a sellout of 15,209 in the opener last Friday and then 14,006 on Wednesday against Colorado.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialMight the #NHLJets have a pulse?
Kyle Connor, playing in his 700th career game, is sent alone on a breakaway and beats Lukas Dostal for his 6th of the year -- which ties him for the NHL lead.
Heck of a pass from Mark Scheifele.
3-1 Anaheim with 9:24 left in the 3rd.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialWell that should probably do it.
Beckett Sennecke to Sam Colangelo who makes it 3-0 Anaheim with 15:35 left in the 3rd period.
#NHLJets are a sleepy squad tonight.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social#NHLJets now 0-for-4 on the power play tonight through 2 periods, and down 2-0 on the scoreboard. Not a whole lot going right for the home team in this one.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social#NHLJets going to the power play for a third time tonight. First two haven't looked too good. Third time's the charm?
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialAnaheim gets a 2-on-0 during an awful #NHLJets line change, and Ryan Poehling's between-the-legs attempt turns into a...
dump in into the corner.
Not even a shot on goal. Yikes.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialGood wraparound chance from Isak Rosen there, or, if you prefer, a Ring Around The Rosie.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialGabe Vilardi with a point blank chance on the #NHLJets power play, and now Cole Perfetti rings one off the crossbar. Couple close calls early in the second period here.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialFirst #NHLJets fight of the season which doesn't involve Tyrel Bauer sees captain Adam Lowry score a quick decision over Anaheim's Travis Mitchell.
Lowry laid out A.J. Greer with a huge hit, prompting the response from Mitchell, who gets the extra minor.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social1-0 Anaheim.
Judd Caulfield, a 25-year-old from Grand Forks playing his fourth NHL game, buries a rebound (and himself) behind #NHLJets goaltender Clay Stevenson with 5:19 left in the first period.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialTonight marks the fourth straight #NHLJets game that is on a different platform.

Monday @ Pittsburgh: Sportsnet Plus
Wednesday vs Colorado: Amazon Prime
Friday vs Anaheim: Sportsnet
It's a whole new world.
