Jets head coach Paul Maurice has 'full support' of GM Kevin Cheveldayoff

It's Black Monday in the NHL, and it appears Jets head coach Paul Maurice is safe.

"For me, Paul (Maurice) has my full support," general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said at a press conference Monday.

There's no denying that the Jets underachieved this season, but most of that should fall on the goaltending rather than the coaching.

The Jets finished with the third-worst save percentage and allowed the third-most goals against in the league. This comes in spite of the fact that they surrendered the 17th fewest scoring chances against per 60 minutes at five-on-five, according to Corsica.Hockey.

If the Jets fail to upgrade from the trio of Connor Hellebuyck, Michael Hutchinson, and Ondrej Pavelec this offseason, it could cost Maurice his job next season if he once again fails to bring the Jets to the postseason.
