Sure, there were probably some excuses, such as playing the second game of a back to back on Saturday. Even with the benefit of some hindsight, the Jets probably shouldn’t have been caved in during the first period like they were. “You’ve got a room full of human beings and we’ve been playing some pretty good hockey recently,” Jets captain Blake Wheeler said. The Jets lost the puck just inside the Kings’ zone and the play began the other way. With a little jump in their step, the Jets drew two power plays in the second period and outshot the Kings 15-8 in the frame.
