Greetings from Newark. Interesting beginning to #NHLJets practice. Only a small group of players on ice to start. And head coach Rick Bowness pulled aside Nikolaj Ehlers, Nate Schmidt and then Mark Scheifele for one-on-one chats. #wfp

#NHLJets starting with PP work.

First group is Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, Cole Perfetti, Josh Morrissey and Nate Schmidt.

Second group is Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kevin Stenlund and Neal Pionk.

So Dubois, Connor flip with Schmidt, Perfetti.

Full #NHLJets team now on the ice here in New Jersey for practice.

David Gustafsson still in non-contact red.

There’s a real emphasis on movement/rotation/activation and shooting on the #NHLJets power play work here. Interesting they running through the drill uncontested. Just five-man units zipping pick around. No goalie in net either. Coach Marty Johnston overseeing it.

Meanwhile, all the non power play guys are working at the other end of the ice with Connor Hellebuyck and David Rittich.

New #NHLJets lines here in Jersey. This is rush order:

Connor- Dubois- Maenalanen
Perfetti- Scheifele- Appleton
Ehlers- Lowry - Wheeler
Barron - Stenlund - Kuhlman
Gagner, Gustafsson (non contact)

Morrissey - DeMelo
Dillon - Pionk
Schmidt - Samberg
Stanley-Capobianco

This is a most interesting and newsworthy #NHLJets practice here in New Jersey. Both power play units, all four lines and two of three defence pairs have changed. That 3-1 loss in Columbus clearly left a mark!

#NHLJets coach Rick Bowness is as vocal and demonstrative as I’ve seen him all year here in New Jersey. Yelling himself hoarse as they run through a drill here. “LETS GO”. “SKATE,” “ON THE D,” “THERE WE GO,” etc. complete with lots of stick banging on ice and boards. #wfp

Stretching it out after a lengthy, newsworthy practice. Full #NHLJets coverage from on the scene here in New Jersey coming up in @WinnipegNews.
