Paul Maurice was visibly upset after the loss to the Arizona Coyotes the other night, due to more penalty troubles. His brief post game press conference was highlighted by him making an example out Nikolaj Ehlers for a diving/ embellishment penalty. The Jets essentially beat themselves as they gave up two goals on the Coyotes power play, resulting in a 4-2 loss. On a positive note, Adam Lowry had the 2 goals for the Jets. It’s amazing what a little time in the AHL does for your confidence, right? On the other hand, the San Jose Sharks are coming off a 4-2 win over the Philidelphia Flyers in their own penalty filled affair.
