The streak ties a franchise record.
In this, the Jets 81st and second last game of their 2016-2017 season, management decided to give some of their AHL youngsters a look, including goaltender Eric Comrie.Comrie who sports a 3.09 goals against average and a 0.906 save percentage in 48 games played with the Manitoba Moose this year, turned away 35 shots for his first NHL win.
Jack Rosolvic also played in his first NHL game and it was in his hometown of Columbus.
Forward Kyle Connor was also re-called from the Moose, but he won't play until Saturday against Nashville.
Jacob Trouba scored twice for his seventh and eighth, while Mark Scheifele notched his 32nd.
Mathieu Perreault also had a good night as he produced a goal and two assists.
Bryan Little had a four-point night with a goal and three assists, but the star of the game was Comrie, who was composed all night long, even after allowing the Blue Jackets to tie the game up 3-3 in the second period.
Patrik Laine was held pointless, which pretty much ends my hope of him getting 40 goals on the season and perhaps tying Toronto's Austen Matthews, who most certainly will reach the milestone. I figured Laine could get two tonight and three the last game. I know, very high expectations, but being so close, knowing his drive for success and the fact that if anyone could do it, it would be Laine.
He still can get close with a couple against Nashville, when the Jets wrap up their season at home versus the Predators at the MTS Centre.
From the first time I saw him in the press scrum when he was drafted in 2013, I always thought he gave concise, professional answers to the media.
