From @DanRTSN & @LandonFerraro - What went wrong for the Jets in their 5-1 loss to the Panthers Tuesday night, and h Via @TSNHockey on X

What happened: Florida closed out a 5-1 final over Winnipeg as the Tkachuk brothers dictated the physical matchup. TSN analysts Landon Ferraro and Dan Robertson detailed how the brothers compounded the Jets' defensive breakdowns throughout the night.

Why it matters: The 5-1 result underscores the matchup problems Florida creates when the Tkachuk brothers control the forecheck and net-front traffic. Failing to contain that pressure exposed structural gaps in Winnipeg's defensive-zone coverage.

What to watch: Winnipeg turns its attention to correcting the coverage lapses from Tuesday's loss, while Florida looks to carry its momentum into the upcoming regular-season schedule.
