Coach wants offence, captain wants defence

The theme for the Winnipeg Jets practice Sunday was simple.

Despite scoring eight times in their first two games, head coach Paul Maurice isn’t satisfied with where his team sits offensively through the first 120 minutes of the season.

During Sunday morning’s skate, he worked his team in such a way to try and strike a balance. Picking up pucks off the wall, finding motion in the offensive zone and, he said, if they aren’t getting pucks to the net, maintaining possession as long as possible so when the other team does gain control, they’re changing lines instead of mounting a counter-offensive.
