Penalty-killing unit top priority for Jets coach

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice says you don’t have to look very far to find the man to blame for the seemingly never ending struggles this season of his club’s woeful penalty killing unit.

"I’m fully in charge of all things broken," Maurice told reporters Wednesday afternoon following his team’s practice at MTS Centre.

"I’m in charge of everything."

The Jets penalty killing unit is ranked 27th in a 30-team league as of today -- a cellar-dwelling position it’s been in for most of this season.

And it continues to kill Maurice’s team. The Jets have given up a power-play goal to their opponents in seven of their last nine games, including Tuesday night in a 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars at MTS Centre.
