Eichel Notches an Assist Tuesday
Jack Eichel recorded an assist, seven shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators. Eichel continues to cruise in March, as he’s racked up 12 points and 59 shots on net over 11 contests this month. The center set up Ivan Barbashev’s tally early in the first period Tuesday. Eichel has 24 goals, 32 helpers, 232 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 53 outings in a top-line role.
Hellebuyck Falls to Edmonton
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 38 of 42 shots in Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Oilers in overtime. Hellebuyck certainly did his part Tuesday, forcing overtime despite the Oilers outshooting the Jets 40-24 in regulation. However, the 30-year-old netminder would ultimately wind up with the loss after Zach Hyman buried a rebound in the extra frame. It’s the third consecutive defeat for Hellebuyck, though it was a step in the right direction after giving up eight goals on 45 shots in his prior two outings. Overall, Hellebuyck’s 32-17-4 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.42 GAA this season. He’ll look to get back in the win column when the Jets host Vegas on Thursday.
