The Winnipeg Jets heading to Texas to take on the Dallas Stars on Thursday, hoping to end their losing streak against their division rivals. A lot going on this morning (re: Hellebuyck), so this is going to be short & sweet.<\/p>\n

Despite being heavily outshot, the True Northers had a chance to pull out a win but weren\u2019t able to protect a 1 goal lead in the 3rd period. Stuart Skinner did his best to get a win, denying over 30 shots, but his efforts were only paid off with a loss in overtime. <\/p>\n

Expected Goals (all):\u00a0\u00a0DAL\u00a04.32\u00a0\u2013 WPG\u00a03.08<\/p>\n

Expected Goals (5on5): DAL\u00a02.45\u00a0\u2013 WPG\u00a01.37<\/p>\n

The Jets lost the xG battles in both situations listed above, which is hardly surprising when the Stars doubled them in shots. Yet, the expected offense wasn\u2019t as lop-sided as that, Winnipeg still had to rely on a strong performance by their goalie to keep the score close. The True Northers allowed the 2nd most xG\u2019s against they have this season, but also put up their 4th highest scoring looks. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The forwards were split between successful, Bjorck\u2019s line had 47.7% of Winnipeg\u2019s entire xG output at 5 on 5 and the Barron unit did well in limited minutes (not creating much, but not allowing it either \u2013 0.084 to 0.011). <\/p>\n

The Scheifele line lost the xG battle 0.322 to .673 to Dallas, the 5th time they\u2019ve lost that fight this year and the Jets ended up losing 4 of those. While I thought Yager looked good, the Lowry line couldn\u2019t create any offense at even strength (0.009 xG\u2019s) and had a hard time limiting looks against (0.665 xG\u2019s).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

None of the defensive units ended up winning the xG battle, though Samberg\u2013Pionk did there best in over 20 minutes of ice time against the Stars best players. Sammy had more than his fair share of mistakes against Dallas, but for the most part these didn\u2019t come back to haunt his club. The 2nd pairing had a good outing versus St. Louis, but had real issues containing the Stars on Thursday (0.057-0.594 xG\u2019s for DAL). <\/p>\n

After a couple decent starts, Fleury had a rough one and as much as I like Bauer, he is probably too slow to be a regular starter on the 3rd pairing. Winnipeg desperately needs Morrissey & Salomonsson to return to the ice and hope that will seal up some of the leaks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What can I say about Skinner? The Jets\u2019 newest starter has had a fantastic start with the franchise, posting a 3-1-3 record & a .912 sv% on the season. 5 of 7 starts have ended with a positive GSAE rating and his +1.32 last night was his 2nd highest on the year. The guy his teammates call Skinny has looked cool & calm in net turned aside 35 shots on Thursday for a .921 sv%\u2026.clearly his club\u2019s #1 star of the contest.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Alright\u2026.news is saying that Winnipeg & New Jersey are very close to a Connor Hellebuyck trade\u2026..so I am moving on from last night\u2019s game without my thoughts. Maybe this prolonged stand off is about to come to an end?? <\/p>\n
