Jets still lead Panthers 1-0
8:47 PM
Nino Niederreiter has the lone goal of the contest as the Winnipeg Jets have a 1-0 lead over the Florida Panthers on Friday night at Amerant Bank Arena.
Dylan Samberg snuck a shot from the left point through the pads of Sergei Bobrovsky and Niederreiter was quick to pounce on the rebound to score his sixth goal of the season at 17:43 of the first period.
Making his 15th start in 19 games, Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has turned aside all 17 shots he’s faced so far, while Bobrovsky has 18 saves for the Panthers.
Earlier in the day, the Jets got some good news as head coach Rick Bowness returned to the team after a 32-day absence.
