The Jets’ two best forwards are very good. But the international performance/decisions and how the Jets perform when it leans heavily on them should tell us something.
A lot of #NHLJets fans are overrating them.

Connor healthy scratch and Ehlers having fun scoring points.
Oh well

And there it is. Just like at 4 Nations, #NHLJets forward Kyle Connor -- who doesn't have a single shot on net through 2 games -- has played his way out of the U.S. lineup, at least for now.
Looks like Connor, Swayman and Lacombe aren't dressing for USA. Keller in and on the third line with Larkin and Thompson

Oops “He” did it again
31st 🚨 & 32nd 🚨
Scored in 8 consecutive games now. At this rate he’s a good bet to overtake Kieron Walton in the #NHLJets prospect season lead

Jets prospect Kevin He (2024 4th) is on fire 🔥🔥
After scoring two last night, he had two more goals for Flint tnt.
That’s eight straight games with a goal (13 goals in the streak)
He’s got 62 points (32G 30A) in 47 games. Tied for 4th in OHL for goals. #NHLJets

Nikolaj Ehlers told me it was fun to play against long-time #NHLJets teammate Kyle Connor tonight here at #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026.
“I wish Bucky was playing, too.”
He said Denmark “played our asses off” in giving the American team a bit of a scare.
Lots more coming.

And now for the nightcap. Kyle Connor vs Nikolaj Ehlers.
#NHLJets goalie Connor Hellebuyck is getting a rest tonight.
And Denmark has quickly opened the scoring, looking for a huge upset over the Unoted States.
Only for the Americans to quickly answer.
1-1.

23. Hindsight, of course, is 20/20. But when it comes to pro sports, it’s fun to play the what-if game.
So here's one to chew on: How different would last spring and this season looked for the #NHLJets had they landed Brock Nelson?

I just asked Canada coach Jon Cooper about #NHLJets Josh Morrissey.
“You will not see him next game. (Sunday vs France). But by no means is he out for the tournament.”
“You will not see him next game. (Sunday vs France). But by no means is he out for the tournament.”
#NHLJets Josh Morrissey update.
He will not play tonight against Switzerland.
But I don’t believe his Olympics are for sure over. There’s hope on that front that this is more of a day-to-day issue that will improve.
We’ll see what Jon Cooper says postgame.

#NHLJets Nino Niederreiter is irate as he's called for elbowing Manitoba's Travis Sanheim
Canada to the power play, up 3-1.
Niederreiter told me earlier this weeked he wanted Switzerland to "poke the bear" that is Canada.
I guess elbow the bear works, too?

He’s up to 71 points (34G 37A) in 46 games which puts him 2nd overall in the OHL for points. #NHLJets
