NOTABLE:

QUOTABLE:

“I didn’t even know that. I don’t think it played a part in the game. They’re beating us lately.” — Bryan Little on the Caps’ six-game win streak against the Jets.

UP NEXT:

The Jets moved on to St. Louis immediately after the contest for the final contest of their pre-Olympic four-game road trip, Saturday against the St. Louis Blues (6 p.m., TSN Jets/TSN 1290).
