Winnipeg Jets at Anaheim Ducks
On Winnipeg Jets game days, writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe deliver updates, quotes, and injury reports ahead of puck drop. A few hours before the game, they provide insights from the team's morning skate sessions.
The Jets spent Saturday in discussions, and head coach Scott Arniel hopes Sunday brings results. Following a difficult 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks, marking the second straight defeat in their six-game road trip, Arniel held individual meetings with each healthy player in Anaheim.
“To be straight up, I had one-on-ones with players,” Arniel told reporters at the Honda Center. “Because we have so many new guys and we’re teaching as we go, I haven’t really had a chance since training camp to say, ‘This is what I expect from you.’ I also reviewed expectations with returning players—what I need from them every night.”
“Each guy knows their role, what I expect and what the coaching staff expects from them. Now it’s time to perform as a unit,”
San Jose Sharks goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic made key stops in the second period of Friday’s matchup, helping his team hold off the Jets in San Jose.
There was some good news Sunday morning as Cole Perfetti, recovering from an ankle injury, was cleared to make his season debut after missing the first 14 games.
