‘Flower’ keeps Vegas fresh despite late Game 3 flurry from Jets

The Winnipeg Jets huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow the equalizer past Vegas Golden Knights fantastic netminder Marc-André​ Fleury.

Later, Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was in alone, but was stopped by the man they call “Flower”, on a flubbed curl-and-drag attempt.

‘He does it every night’

“At that point, it’s what we expect from Flower,” Vegas sniper Jonathan Marchessault said. “He does it every night. The third period was not good enough for our group. We definitely need to close that game better.”

Before this game turned into the Marc-André Fleury Show, the Jets fell behind 3-1 because of sloppy turnovers. Scheifele turned it over inside the Golden Knights blue line on Marchessault’s goal 35 seconds into the game.

Harness their game

The Jets need more than Scheifele going in this series. He set a playoff record with his 11th away goal. But right now it’s only the Scheifele line that is going well, accounting for the last four Winnipeg goals.

“We know that was [more like] our game,” Scheifele said of the third period. “We just have to harness that for a full 60 minutes.”
