Jets edge Sabres to stay in hunt
Antti Miettinen scored with 7:36 left to keep the surging Winnipeg Jets in the playoff race with a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped 24 shots, including a huge glove save on Thomas Vanek with 5:45 left to preserve the victory. Winnipeg (24-19-3) improved 6-0-1 in its past seven and moved within a point of the idle New York Rangers, who hold...
Ondrej Pavelec makes incredible diving stick save
During the second period of the Winnipeg Jets-Carolina Hurricanes game on Thursday night, Ondrej Pavelec made what might be the best save this year. Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty fed a perfect pass across the crease to defenseman Justin Faulk and he had a wide open net. Pavelec was caught out of position and could do nothing but dive across the crease and pray. Amazingly enough...
Peter Tessier: 5 Game Win Streak but Real Work Ahead
What we learned tonight at the Jets game is that uncertainty rules. Take a look at the game and then ask yourself would Ondrej Pavelec be the game changer? That is what has happened thus far for the Jets goalie as he made at least 5 game changing saves in the second period alone.
Just like Vancouver does for Luongo with the âLuooooooooâ chants the MTS Centre tonight...
Jets All Out Prospect Preditor: Juho Olkinuora
If there is one thing the Wininpeg Jets need in their future, it's goaltending.
They have a pretty good system going with Ondrej Pavelec, Al Montoya, and Eddie Pasquale currently sitting in the top three spots in the organization's depth chart.
But after that, it is a who's who of draft picks - especially late round picks - that are still trying...
2014 Olympics Goaltending Preview: Czech Republic by TheHockeyHouse
With about 11 months until the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, I will preview the goaltending for each country going into the Olympics in a weekly series. Today I take a look Czech Republic, who in my opinion have one of the easiest decisions when it comes to selecting their goaltenders. Ondrej Pavelec: [...]
The F**K You Fantasy POTN (3/22)
(Duck get the hat treatment -- AP/File Photo)
Sometimes you just have to know when to be humble. Tonight is one of those times.This will be a simple one fingered salute as Justin Abdelkader literally made Viktor Fasth owners sick to their stomachs in the 5-1 Red Wings victory. Therefore our F**K You Fantasy POTN goes to Fasth who gave up three goals on 11 shots. At least...
Ty Anderson: Seidenberg the hero in win over Sens; Why Peverley?
Losers in two straight games, and with just two goals in their last 120 minutes of play, on league garbage cans Tomas Vokoun and Ondrej Pavelec no less, the Boston Bruins have without question been fully entrenched in what's best described as their worst stretch of hockey in this undeniably up-and-down lockout-shortened grind.
And for almost 40 minutes of play tonight in...
Ty Anderson: Painful: Bruins blow another lead, lose to Jets
On the heels of scoring just one goal against Tomas Vokoun and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, tonight's trip to Winnipeg seemed to present the Boston Bruins' offense will a perfect chance for a bounce-back night, even if they were without the services of top-line center David Krejci.
To put it lightly, Winnipeg netminder Ondrej Pavelec came into action with a miserable...
Ondřej Pavelec robs Patrice Bergeron (VIDEO)
via YouTube
Winnipeg Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec was arrested Tuesday night in Winnipeg for robbery. Pavelec was immediately found guilty of theft as he somehow some way saved a shot in which Patrice Bergeron was aiming at an empty net. Bergeron found himself open just inside the right circle with an empty net. That was until Pavelec’s glove appeared out of thin air.
This...
Jets 3, Rangers 1
Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves, and the Winnipeg Jets held on to beat the New York Rangers 3-1 on Thursday night.
Nik Antropov scored the game's first goal, Antti Miettinen had his first goal of the season, and Andrew Ladd had an empty-netter with 39 seconds left for Winnipeg (14-11-2). It was Ladd's 14th goal of the season. Dustin Byfuglien had a pair of assists for the Jets...
Another Disappointing Effort for the Blueshirts
For a team that is fighting to stay in the top eight in the Eastern Conference, the New York Rangers sure did not play with any kind of fight tonight in a 3-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets in Winnipeg.
It what has been a consistent theme this season for Blueshirts, the Rangers did not generate too many quality scoring chances, allowed too many quality scoring chances to the Jets and...
Toronto Maple Leafs: Suffering three straight losses
When I heard that the Toronto Maple Leafs lost a thriller to Pittsburgh in a shoot out, I was quite pleased that they got at least one point. After all, their next opponent would be the Winnipeg Jets. A team that has been struggling lately.
I thought for sure that Leafs would get an easy two points off the Jets. Wrong.
At a time where I didn’t want Winnipeg’s goalie, Ondrej...
Jets 5, Maple Leafs 2
Blake Wheeler scored twice and Ondrej Pavelec made 24 saves to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.
Nik Antropov, Kyle Wellwood and Evander Kane also scored for the Jets, who have won three of their last four games. Dustin Byfuglien had three assists and Antropov had two.
Phil Kessel scored both goals for Toronto, which is winless...

Devils Don’t Blame Bad Call For Their Loss To Winnipeg
from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
The Devils should have had a goal or, perhaps, a penalty shot after Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey grabbed the puck off the left pad of goaltender Ondrej Pavelec and threw it out to the right point during a scramble in front with 6:07 left in today’s game.
No Devils blamed referee Mike Leggo’s clearly missed call, however, for their 4...

Late Second-Period Goal Key in ‘Desperation’ Game for Bruins (Video)
Those who chose to take an early intermission break during Sunday’s Bruins-Jets game were sorely mistaken.
Evander Kane scored to give Winnipeg a 2-1 lead with 27 seconds remaining in the second period, but the action didn’t cease there. Johnny Boychuk responded for Boston, sending a slap shot that was tipped by teammate Daniel Paille past Ondrej Pavelec with just 1.5 seconds...
Shawn Thornton’s Penalty Shot Highlights Bruins’ Short History With Jets
Bruins fans are accustomed to seeing Shawn Thornton settling things on the ice with his fists, but many forget that he’s capable of pulling some nifty offensive maneuvers as well.
That was on display in a game between the B’s and Winnipeg Jets back on Jan. 10, 2012, when the Boston brawler used some fancy stickwork to beat Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec on a penalty shot. But don’t...
About Last Night…What’s Not on Ondrej Pavelec’s iPod
It’s safe to say that after this trip to Tampa, Ondrej Pavelec and the Winnipeg Jets won’t be fans of Lou Christie anytime soon. Pavelec and backup goaltender Al Montoya combined to do a re-mix of Christie’s #1 hit from 1966, “Lightning Strikes” as they allowed eight goals to Tampa Bay and got thumped 8-3.
Tampa scored three power-play goals in the first period and picked...
Jets at Lightning game preview
Game time: 7:30 p.m. ETTV: Sun Sports
Off to their best start in eight seasons, the Tampa Bay Lightning aren't showing any signs of letting up.
Their success shouldn't come as much of a surprise to the Winnipeg Jets.
Looking to match its longest winning streak from all of last season, Tampa Bay - unbeaten at home - tries to continue its recent domination of Winnipeg on Friday...
RECAP: Like Big Buffs And You Cannot Lie. PENS LOSE.
Things started out so well for the Pens. Crosby scored the first two goals of the game. Ondrej Pavelec was still in net. It looked liked an easy W.
Only problem was the Penguins couldn't do anything for the next 40+ minutes after Crosby's second goal. Winnipeg adjusted to the Pens' style and got them rattled. They waited for the Pens to make some mistakes...
Still Not Sold On Pavelec
When the Jets put the ink into Ondrej Pavelec's pen to sign a new five-year, $19.5 million contract this summer, my eyes rolled as far back into my head as possible.
I knew it would be a break or bust kind of deal.
But the Winnipeg Jets cannot be condemned for making this signing - Pavelec is their only real legitimate goaltender capable of being a number one.

Jets Need To Tighten Up Defensively
from Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press,
Can Ondrej Pavelec be more of a difference, many ask?
Will the team's road record improve?
Will Evander Kane shuffle aside all the distractions and remain on the upward production curve?
Is Olli Jokinen just the centrepiece the team was lacking?
Can 19-year-old Mark Scheifele make the jump?
All good questions...
Peter Tessier: With 48 Games Success Falls on Pavelec
There's a lot of great discussion happening on Twitter so follow PETE on Twitter
There is one thing that should be on every Jetsâ fanâs mind when it comes to the impending start of the 2013 hockey season- the play of Ondrej Pavelec. It will not matter if Evander Kane gets on a hot streak at the start, initially making his 5.25 million per year look like a bargain...
