Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Scores for first NHL goal, point
Rotowire
Salomonsson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Injuries to multiple defensemen have left the Jets thin on the blue line. That will allow Salomonsson to get some on-the-job training as the Jets navigate the last quarter or so of the campaign. His tally at 1:27 of the third period put the Jets ahead 3-1, but it wasn't enough. Through 15 NHL contests, he's posted 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in a bottom-four role.
