After a tough loss at home in OT to Anaheim, could the Jackets regroup against a cup favorite less than 24 hours later?
First Period
Penalties abound at the beginning of this contest. Svechnikov went to the box one minute in after a high/late hit on JVR and Olivier went to the box for a crosscheck after the whistle five minutes in. Both of the kills were up to the task early. Seven minutes in to the contest, Jack Johnson headed to the bench in some difficulty. A review of the play showed Kotkaniemi got a stick under the visor of JJ to give the Jackets a four minute power play.
