Jets suffer blowout loss to Panthers

Ken Wiebe and Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet break down the Winnipeg Jets 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Friday night as they continue a reconfigured stretch of six consecutive road games - thanks to Wednesday's home game with the Seattle Kraken being postponed. As Nikolaj Ehlers pointed out, the Jets were unable to play "the right way" and the Eastern Conference leaders took full advantage. Hart Trophy candidate Jonathan Huberdeau scored two goals (hitting 30 for the season) and added an assist for a three-point night, while Claude Giroux chipped in three helpers. Connor Hellebuyck was pulled after giving up four goals on 26 shots on goal, but that was a mercy pull and he is expected to be back between the pipes on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
