The Jets won them both against the Anaheim Ducks, 4-3 in overtime and they beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2.
Patrik Laine scored twice tonight for his 35th and 36th. Mark Scheifele scored his career-high 31st.
The Blues opened the scoring 35 seconds into the game, before the Jets took a 3-1 lead and never looked back in a 5-2 win. This victory sealed a season sweep for the Jets over the Blues, five games to zero. Yeah. I can't believe it either.
With this victory, the Jets have won their season high fifth straight game. In fact it's a two-season-high, since the best the Jets managed to win consecutively last year was four. The last four. Doesn't it figure though? When the points they needed the last few weeks come now? The Jets have won eight out of their last 10, including the aforementioned five straight. Ten points that could have been oh so valuable when they trailed St. Louis by the exact same for the second wild card spot weeks ago. D'OH!
Some people haven't seemed to learn. Some fans wanted the Jets to tank to improve their pick in this summer's entry draft. Apparently they've forgotten already that the four wins at the end of last season enabled the draft lottery balls to fall their their way and the result was moving up four spots (which actually made the Jets the real winners of the draft) which resulted in their pick of Patrik Laine. So, always do your best. You never know what the results will bring you.
So, two games remain on the schedule this season. Next up for the Jets is figuring out who to protect and who to expose to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft this June.
I would have said Drew Stafford before he was shipped to Boston, but now it looks like either Mathieu Perreault or Tyler Myers.
