Jarry Fades Late vs. New Jersey
Tristan Jarry stopped 33 shots in Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to the Devils. The game was 2-1 for New Jersey heading into the third period, but the home squad scored three straight goals against Jarry to begin the frame and blow it open. The 28-year-old netminder is having an awful finish to the season, giving up four or more goals in four of seven March starts while going 2-4-1 with a 4.35 GAA and .883 save percentage.
Hintz Snaps Slump with Helper
Roope Hintz notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday’s 5-2 win over the Coyotes. Lost in Logan Stankoven-mania was Hintz’s four-game point drought, which the veteran snapped with a helper on a Jason Robertson tally in the third period. Hintz has been a little quieter on offense this season with 57 points through 68 outings. It’s still strong production, but he’s likely to miss the 70-point mark for the first time in three years. He’s added 153 shots on net and a plus-23 rating in a top-line role.
