Playing games in and around New York brings plenty of media attention, and discussion of certain Jets players being nominated for post-season awards will increase after this trip.

There is something alluring about these road trips that allow a team to spend six days in the same city and play three games — particularly a trip that has been relatively successful, as the Jets’ trip has been.

There is little doubt in my mind that discussion of both Morrissey and Lowry being nominated for post-season awards will increase after this trip. Lowry gets the hardest matchups, he plays more physical and grinds better than any forward in the NHL. He deserves consideration for the Selke.As for Josh Morrissey, we have been down this road before. His combination of defence and offence puts him in the discussion with Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Adam Fox and others. The biggest problem is that Makar, Hughes and Fox get much more coverage. That’s why these trips east are important for recognition.
