5:55: Tyler Benson goes cross-ice to Russell on a 2-on-1 but Russell doesn’t connect well with the puck and fans on his shot.
10:48: Chiasson is sprung on a breakaway, staving off the defender behind him and managing to get a one-handed shot on net. Later in the play, Neal-RNH-Gagner cause all sorts of chaos in front of the Jets’ net but can’t light the lamp.

20:00: The second period has begun.
