Maurice wasn’t lying in the assessment of the play of Winnipeg Jets forward Jack Roslovic, although the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets hasn’t been one to publicly criticize his players during his tenure here. “Jack Roslovic created that goal and he needed to because he was so bad through two-and-a-half (periods),” Maurice said after that game. “You get exposed sometimes when you have bad games,” Roslovic said on Monday, after the team assembled for practice ahead of their four-game homestand, which begins Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. A rough patch from Scheifele and Wheeler is far less concerning to a coach than a player who hasn’t learned how to be consistent, game in and game out. But he did the one thing that you can do in these situations — just stay in the fight long enough.”Roslovic has morphed into a relied-upon player, Maurice said.
