"We kind of came into this one anticipating it was going to be a little bit ugly. We didn't think we'd just come in after a couple days off and be right back on top of our game. It wasn't pretty by any means. But at the same time you're going to need wins like that in this league. It was a good sign there in the third period, to gut it out, get it into overtime and get the two (points)." Blake Wheeler
"A bunch [of players] were trying to go high glove and it just wasn't there. So as a lefty, a bunch of the other guys are righties … coming down as a lefty, sometimes low blocker is an option, and it was there for me, so I took it." Perreault said.
"I'm just happy the guys fought back and got a win here. It's tough. You never want to sit in the box. You never want to see when you're in there you get scored upon." Enstrom said.

"I thought it looked pretty good. Sometimes when it doesn't feel like a whole lot is going on out there that's when you're playing your best. We didn't give them a whole lot and finally broke them down in the third period." Wheeler said.
"All you care about is how the team is doing and the personal [stats] come second. It's not that I've been feeling that I haven't played well. I've been feeling really good and playing with a lot of confidence." Nikolaj Ehlers

Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen is starting to feel good again after missing 16 games with fractured ribs, and the top line is benefiting from it.
Playing for the fifth time since his return, Hansen scored his second goal of the game 3:19 into the third period to break a tie and help the Canucks defeat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 at Rogers Arena. Hansen tied the game at 1-1 9:18 into the second period, then put the Canucks ahead on a wrist shot from just inside the blue line that beat goalie Connor Hellebuyck high on the blocker side through traffic. Hansen, who scored a career-high 22 goals while playing with Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin last season, has three goals in the past two games.

Vancouver regrouped during the first intermission.
* Baertschi blocked Dustin Byfuglien's shot at the blue line, went in on a breakaway and beat Hellebuyck over the glove with a backhand despite not being able to feel his left foot. "Totally numb, didn't feel a thing," he said. "But I will take the pain to get the breakaway."
* Jets forward Patrik Laine skated into the top of the left faceoff circle on a power play 2:26 into the first period and sent a rising wrist shot that knocked the mask off Markstrom. "You have to be quick to position [yourself] to square up and be ready when the pucks come," Markstrom said.

"A lot of the stuff we'd like to handle better, just the simple passes off the tape that we had to stop and battle back on and just bang it out, instead of being able to create anything. That was probably how we got into trouble. We were looking to create things when we didn't need to." Paul Maurice
"We have a pretty good idea what they are trying to do. They are going to have a pretty good idea what we're trying to do. It's going to be a matter of wills next game. We had a good first period. It wasn't for a lack of preparation." Wheeler said.

Jets @ Vancouver Canucks 4-1 - Thursday, December 22, 2016
Nikolaj Ehlers decided to join linemate Patrik Laine's goal-scoring fun.
Ehlers scored two goals in the third period after setting up Laine's goal in the second to help the Winnipeg Jets defeat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 at Rogers Arena. Ehlers assisted Laine for the latter's NHL rookie-leading 19th goal of the season to tie it 1-1 with 42.5 seconds left in the second period, then put the Jets ahead at 1:23 of the third. Ehlers picked a pass out of the air in his own zone and led a 2-on-1 rush, faking a pass before beating Canucks goalie Ryan Miller cleanly under the glove to make it 2-1. He then scored a power-play goal at 12:24 of the third to give the Jets a 3-1 lead. Bryan Little scored with 4:17 left and Michael Hutchinson made 22 saves for the Jets (16-17-3), who bounced back from a 4-1 loss in Vancouver on Tuesday. Markus Granlund scored and Miller made 21 saves for the Canucks (14-17-3). Vancouver lost right wing Jannik Hansen, who scored twice on Tuesday, to a lower-body injury with seven minutes left in the second period. Hansen was hit by Jets forward Mathieu Perreault, who was given a kneeing penalty, earlier in the period and pulled up favoring his right leg 11 seconds into his next shift. Canucks coach Willie Desjardins didn't have an update after the game, but Hansen left Rogers Arena with a heavy limp and said he will have an MRI on Friday. Granlund scored at 3:54 of the first period, but Laine tied it late in the second after a rush pass from Ehlers, beating Miller glove side with a wrist shot from just above the right faceoff dot.
* Ehlers almost set up Laine on a power play, but Miller made a great save, so Ehlers scored before the advantage expired, skating out from below the goal line and beating Miller high. "I tried to put it backdoor to Patrik first, but he didn't want to score," Ehlers said. "I knew the defenseman was going to cheat a little bit and I just did it myself."
* Hutchinson kept the Jets ahead 2-1 with a great save against Sven Baertschi on a power-play chance 4:54 into the third period, pushing to his right and getting his glove on the rising shot. "It was kind of funny, in the last couple of weeks [Jets goalie coach Wade Flaherty] has been doing a drill similar to that, where I slide across and make a glove save and that is kind of what happened and muscle memory just takes over," Hutchinson said. "I pushed across and was able to visually connect with the puck well and get the glove there."
* Bo Horvat fought through two defenders to get in alone on Hutchinson shorthanded early in the second period, but the Jets goalie pushed across to stop him with his blocker.
* Henrik Sedin played his 1200th NHL game, becoming the fourth Swedish player to reach the milestone. … The Canucks recalled forward Anton Rodin from a conditioning stint in the American Hockey League on Thursday. Desjardins said he is ready to play against the Calgary Flames on Friday.
"He's an amazing kid. I haven't seen a guy who can skate like that, and he has really good hands and he can also score. It's nice to be on the same line as him." Laine, 18, said of Ehlers, 20.
