JoJo saves his job for the moment.
TB-3
NSH-2 (OT)
Jonas Johansson allowed two goals on 31 shots for the victory. The opening goal was soft, but overall a solid enough performance to stave off talk of replacing him on the roster for the moment.

Brayden Point and Anthony Cirelli were the game’s first and third stars.
Ugly win but still a win. This is a weird time of the season and a backup start to boot. Take the points and move along.
Conor Geekie had 1 shot, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 13:42.
Emil Lilleberg was -1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 11:58.
Gage Goncalves was +1 with 1 hit in 15:45. Shoot the puck more young man.
