WINNIPEG — Eric Comrie was glad to help keep the good times rolling for the Winnipeg Jets.
The backup goaltender made 39 saves in a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins Sunday that kept the Jets the NHL’s only unbeaten team with five wins in as many games.
He spent three seasons with the organization starting in 2016. He then went to the Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils, returned to Winnipeg for one season and played for the Buffalo Sabres the past two seasons.“He was great,” Jets coach Scott Arniel said. “Those first two goals were open nets, kind of our breakdowns that led to that.
“You worry about what you can control, do your best and put yourself in a good situation mentally to have success, and when your name’s called you try to make the most of your opportunity,” Nedeljkovic said.
