Kyle Connor scored the Jets’ lone goal, his 13th of the season. Eric Comrie made fourteen saves before being withdrawn after the opening period, and Thomas Milic stopped fifteen shots in the final two frames. Oh boy, there’s plenty of bad stuff to get into here.
Good start… until it wasn’t
Buffalo capitalized on the power play with Jason Zucker scoring his seventh, and just 18 seconds later, brutal defensive coverage released Bowen Byram to cut down the left side and rip one past Comrie’s shoulder to make it 2-0.
That was two goals on three shots for Buffalo.
The momentum didn’t last long
The Jets finally got on the board at 11:26 of the second when Connor redirected a Josh Morrissey one-timer from the point to make it 3-1. You’d think Winnipeg might be able to build on that.
KC’s 13th of the season🚨
But just over a minute later, Alex Tuch beat Milic to restore Buffalo’s three-goal lead to 4-1, and that was about it.
Lowry holds a postgame meeting
The Jets’ room remained closed longer than normal after the game. Head coach Scott Arniel told Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press that captain Adam Lowry was holding a team meeting.
Connor was asked what was said.
