Adam Lowry on Mark Scheifele, who scored his 700th point tonight with this assist: "I still remember he lit that exhibition on fire and everyone wanted him to be on the team. He went back to junior and little did we know that bigger things were to come for him." 1/3 https://t.co/4tu95gd2Wj
Overall, the tone from the Jets room was of frustration. Adam Lowry on the emotional swings: "To go into the room 2-2, we liked our spot. We knew they got in late, with travel. We score early in the third and we like our chances. Credit to them, that’s a gutsy win."
