"The long-awaited return of Matthew Tkachuk to the lineup was dampened by a 4-1 home ice loss to the San Jose Sharks on Monday. San Jose potted three rebounds in a 5:22 of span of the second period to take control of the tilt and all the Panthers could muster in response offensively was a goal from Eetu Luostarinen early in the final frame."
"The Jets opened a three-game homestand with a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. Captain Mark Scheifele scored a pair of goals and added an assist and defenseman Josh Morrissey lit the lamp and had two helpers in the win that was backstopped by a 22-save performance from Eric Comrie. Winnipeg comes into the game 14th in the Western Conference."
