Fortunately there is no back in the STANLEY Cup qualifiers.
The Winnipeg jets are now 1-5 on the second floor of the back after falling to the predators 2-1 Thursday evening in Nashville, ending their sequence of 11 consecutive 11 games.
The Predators took the lead for 15 minutes in the match and there was no score the rest of the path, the PREDS hung on to end the jets in victory with juus Héros needing only 23 stops.
“There were situations where we missed the net,” said head coach Scott Arniel. “But at the end of the day, we threw a lot of rubber. He made a few stops. He made big stops. Coms (Eric Comrie) was good too, once again, we did not provide him with support for the race he needed. »»
The jets played their second game in as many days and third in the last four nights. The defeat also ended a sequence of victories on the six -game road.
Neal Pionk scored his only goal, while Filip Forsberg and Tommy Novak responded for Nashville.
The difference in the game was special teams where the predators marked once on three chances, while the jets were 0 in 4 on the advantage of man and did not benefit from a power game of 5 against 3.
“Special teams can make the difference in the game,” said Jets Defender Neal Pionk. “And it was certainly tonight. This does not mean that Coms did not give us a chance because he made a lot of very good stops on our penalty.

“Run a good goalkeeper, don’t shoot special teams, and that’s a bad recipe.”
The jets are now tirelessly in their last 15 chances with the advantage of the man in their last five and more games.
“I thought we moved well,” said striker Kyle Connor. “We did everything but mark tonight. I liked our rhythm. We had a state of mind.
“We have just made them hear on them.”
It was the first defeat of jets in more than a month for January 20.
“Like every match, whether we win or lose, think, learn from it, wash it and get it on Saturday,” said Pionk.
Cole Perfetti played in his 200th career match in the NHL in defeat.
Haydn Fleury appeared in his first game since January when he replaced Colin Miller on the Blueline.
The home team did the first blood at 4:26 of the first period. Off a victory for the game at the end of Winnipeg, Gustav Nyquist slipped a short pass to Forsberg and he tore it before a mistrust.
Winnipeg even drew with a little more than 11 minutes missing during the period. The fourth line of the jets forced a turnover with a strong advantage before Rasmus Kupari resumed the washer. Pionk timed the pass and its shot escaped Saros to equalize the match with its ninth goal of the season.
Nashville would resume the advance on the power game at brand 15:29 of the period. With Alex Iafallo in the penalty surface, Adam Lowry wore the washer behind his net when he made her eliminate his stick by Luke Evangelista, who then put him in front of Justin Barron. He slipped the washer to a largely open Novak for a TAP-in to do it 2-1.
Although Winnipeg is over-atterrifying Nashville 24-16 in the first, the preds actually surpass the 14-6 jets while Winnipeg had a hard time passing the puck on the net.
None of the two teams found the bottom of the net in the second period and for the second consecutive match, the jets had a long 5 against 3 on which they could not capitalize.
Colton Sissons suffered an interference penalty at 3:11 p.m. and six seconds later, Nick Blankenburg sent the game to give the jets an advantage of two for 1:54. The jets obtained three shots at the goal during this period and hit the post while the teams came back to force, but Nashville maintained its advance in the third period despite exceeding 14-6 in the second.
Comrie did her best to keep the jets in the game in the third, making some phenomenal stops on a power game of Predators, but Winnipeg did not find the objectives to reward his efforts.
The jets fired Comria for an additional attacker with just under two minutes to play, but could not bring the equalizer when the horn sounds in the match and their sequence of victories.
The two goalkeepers were fantastic with withdrawing 28 shots from defeat.
Winnipeg will seek to start a new sequence of victories on their return home to welcome the flyers of Philadelphia on Saturday evening.
