MR. PERFECT:

IT’S nice having your game decided in shootouts every night when you start each one up 1-0 thanks to Andrew Ladd.

The Jets captain is a perfect 5-for-5 on shootouts this season and now has three game-winners, including the last two games in a row.

“It’s getting a little tiring playing overtime games every night,” said Bryan Little, “but the shootouts have been going well for us.”

Ladd says his secret is simple. “I just kind of pick a move and stick with it,” said Ladd. “And luckily it went in.”
