It doesn’t pop out on the scoresheet – at least not yet – but Jets coach Paul Maurice has liked what he’s seen between Jets forwards Alex Burmistrov and rookie Nikloaj Ehlers.
When asked about his decision to stick with his No. 2 line of Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Drew Stafford – the trio that exploded for seven points in the win after going dormant for a stretch of games – head coach Paul Maurice said he wants to keep Ehlers and Burmistrov together, who with Chris Thorburn make up the Jets third unit.
Friday, after a practice at the MTS Iceplex, Maurice expanded on the topic.
