"We all gotta figure it out," said center Pierre-Luc Dubois. The Jets have scored only nine goals in their last six games. We have to be able to make plays, make passes and not just panic because we're going through a little bit of a rut." I'm not saying that we are, but we certainly can't fall into that mode. "We need to be better in the first periods, we need to be better off the start, and we can't be a fragile team right now. "It just wasn't good enough," said Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey. The Jets fell to 20-10-0 at home this season. "They have a very good power play over there and, to come out of that period with the lead having been short-handed, was helpful for us." "The short-handed goal was big, there's no doubt about it," said Islanders coach Lane Lambert. Horvat's goal in the first period sparked the Isles. He's a good teammate and to see him go out there and get a shutout - a big one for us - and be a rock for us was huge."
"He's the kind of guy who just goes out there and works hard and never says anything. "(Varlamov) just stays solid," Nelson said. They always come out really hard and they always play a very strong first period and stuff like that."īo Horvat scored a short-handed goal, and Alexander Romanov, Brock Nelson and Adam Pelech scored for New York.ĭavid Rittich stopped 20 shots for Winnipeg. "They're a hard team to play against here in their home arena. "We expected them to jump in right away," Varlamov said. He was actually expecting to face a lot more pucks. I was very hungry to play today so, for me, it wasn't very hard to stay sharp." "It depends on how mentally you prepare for the game.
"Sometimes, it's easy, sometimes, it's very, very hard," Varlamov said. The Islanders netminder faced only one shot in the first period on his way to a 23-save shutout - his second of the season - to backstop New York to 4-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday afternoon. Winnipeg, Manitoba - Semyon Varlamov would not allow his lack of work in the first period detract him from the job at hand.
