“What else can you ask from them? So, I think with the rest of our lineup, we’re trying to find some, you know, some consistency with the linemates that you’re out there with, and build some energy, build some confidence,” said Jonathan Toews.
“And I mean, if we’re not putting goals on the on the board every single night, at least go out there and generate energy and put them in a better spot.”
GUS GETTING CLOSE
It looked like Gustav Nyquist had his first goal as a Winnipeg Jets on a brilliant individual effort at 9:20 of the first period but the Wild challenged and it was determined that Nino Niederreiter was offside. Nyquist then hit the crossbar later in the second period and remains without a goal in 27 games this season.
“Yeah, it’s another bounce that’s tough to stomach, but I think he did a hell of a job of just kind of taking a deep breath and moving on,” said Toews.
“And he played great tonight and rang one off the bar there in the second, so guys like him to keep driving, keep making plays the way he has. It’s gonna make our team a lot better.”
