Brayden Schenn's take on fighting with Adam Lowry

Schenn reflected on his altercation with Lowry during the second-period interval.

"I asked him to fight — I didn't even know he fought last game... I just didn't like our start and obviously didn't like the previous game, so trying to bring some emotion and energy to the team," Schenn said.

Adam Lowry had engaged in a battle with the Arizona Coyotes' Michael Kesselring in the Jets' previous game.
