The most telling statistic in the Jets' 2-1 shootout loss to the Bruins:  Winnipeg did not manage a shot on goal during the final powerplay of regulation (against Zdeno Chara) or at any point during the overtime.

"It's disappointing when you get those opportunities in the end there," Jets forward Evander Kane said. "Myself, I can't be making those bad passes and not generating anything. But that's something that we're going to have to get better at. We'll train up and move forward." 

The Jets, once again, started off promising, scoring the first goal of the game just 1:58 in. Assistant Captain Chris Thorburn took the Jets to an early lead off a rebound from Paul Postma's shot. But at 5:48, an Andrew Ladd pass was picked off, and Tyler Seguin found Ondrej Pavelec out of position making for an easy score. 

Though the team lost, they looked better than they did just two days before, matching the Bruins with 27 shots on goal. 

"Against a good team tonight, in a tough building to play, we did well," Thorburn said. "We did a lot of things good that we can take into [Tuesday's] game [against the Capitals], and there's also some stuff that we can clean up. But overall, we're not happy with the one point that we did get. But we'll take it, move on here, and hopefully get to .500 [Tuesday]." 

 

The Jets will play at Washington tonight.
